Keeping cockatiels requires great deal of consideration. You must also remember that keeping cockatiels is a long term commitment because cockatiels will live up to 12 years of age! There are additional aspects that are worth considering in advance.
- Cockatiels are messy. If you have a cage in the house, water will be splashed around with the seed….. Are you prepared for this?
- The food and water dishes will have to be cleaned daily and the cage must be cleaned at least once a week.
- Are you prepared to give your bird fresh food and drink?
- Is there somebody that you can rely on to look after your birds if you are on vacation?
- Are there any avian veterinarians in the area you are living in?
- Cockatiels do screech especially in the early morning and at dusk.
