Cockatiels Reviews

I have a 3 year old cockatiel and can highly recommend them as pets. We bought our male bird from a reputable breeder at 3 months old, and he cost £50, but if you intend to interact with your bird it is worth paying the extra money because they are hand tamed straight away. If you opt for an aviary bred cockatiel your chances of interacting with ...  Read the complete review

The Australian Cockatiel is a popular pet bird because of its simple husbandary requirements, potential to talk and become tame and it's comical and cheerful appearence and personality. It is popular as a caged bird, but is also popular as an aviary bird, even in mixed collections because it is placid and unlikely to kill smaller birds like ...  Read the complete review

The cockatiel is probably the animal that annoys me most. Yes, we all know that they look cute and if trained early on they can talk a little but. But the cons out weigh the pros quite considerably- these birds Screech 24/7, this is not in any way an exaggeration. Secondly, they can bite- i was once bitten and it has scared me for life- both ...  Read the complete review

Cockatiels Cockatiels are intelligent and sociable birds that can be kept alone or in groups within an aviary.

To buy one thats only a few weeks out of the nest. This is best to look at the baby in the box and select the one you like, then once its out go and make ...  Read the complete review

My grandfather bred cockatiels in an aviary in his garden, we have had chickens for as long as I can remember, about 8 years ago, my father built our own aviary with budgies and finches, not to mention my pet budgies over the years and my parrot Monica. So you can gather that I am fairly adapt to ...  Read the complete review

My family have always owned cockatiels, when I was growing up we had Polly, who was hand tame but very cantankerous. She would sit quite happily on your hand whilst you were taking her out of her cage, but anybody attempting to put her back in again without wearing gloves was asking for trouble! Cockatiels have very strong beaks considering ...  Read the complete review

They can be tamed easily and you can teach them to speak and whistle although it is the males who only really do the talking(what's new!). Cockatiels do not cost a great deal to ...  Read the complete review

This will ensure your cockatiel has plenty of space to move around. Cocatiels can be teached to speak, with patience; obviously ...  Read the complete review

Ive had my little cockatiel for about 7 years and it must be the best pet I have ever had. It does now need that much cleaning, and it is the most friendliest bird I have ever had! It flies over to you, and sits near you, and even nibbles on your ear. This is the best family pet once it has got used to you, otherwise it may bite if it is near ...  Read the complete review
