How to Care for Cockatiels

 

Cockatiels are wonderful pets that are actually known for their playful and affectionate nature. Here are how to care for them:

-         Housing: Provide a spacious cage with horizontal bars for climbing. Cockatiels are actually active and need room to move.

-         Diet: Offer a balanced diet of pellets, fresh vegetables, fruits, and occasional seeds as treats. Fresh water should always be available.

-         Socialization: Cockatiels are social birds and they actually need daily interaction and mental stimulation. Cockatiels enjoy being talked to and handled gently.

-         Toys and Enrichment: You need to provide toys like swings, bells, and chewable items to keep them entertained and prevent boredom.

-         Grooming: Make sure you trim their nails regularly and also provide a shallow dish for bathing or mist them with water. Cockatiels like to keep themselves clean.

-         Healthcare: Schedule regular check-ups with an avian veterinarian. Watch for signs of illness such as changes in appetite, behavior, or droppings.

-         Environment: Make sure you keep their environment clean by regularly cleaning their cage and replacing bedding or liners.

By attending to these aspects of care, you can ensure your cockatiel remains healthy, happy, and thriving as a pet.
