Cockatiel: Your Guide to Owning These Beautiful Birds

The cockatiel also known as weird, or quarrion is a medium-sized parrot that is a member of its own branch of the cockatoo family endemic to Australia. They are prized as household pets and companion parrots throughout the world and are relatively easy to breed. As a caged bird, cockatiels are second in popularity only to the budgerigar.


The cockatiel is the only member of the genus Nymphicus. It was previously unclear whether the cockatiel was a crested parakeet or a small cockatoo; however, more recent molecular studies have assigned it to its own subfamily, Nymphicinae. It is, therefore, now classified as the smallest of the Cacatuidae (cockatoo family). Cockatiels are native to Australia, favoring the Australian wetlands, scrublands, and bushlands.

Cockatiels are one of the most beloved pet birds worldwide, thanks to their delightful personalities and distinct appearances. Known for their affectionate behavior, Cockatiels make excellent companions and, as such, are a popular choice for bird enthusiasts.


Further, Cockatiels boast a variety of vibrant color patterns, and each bird possesses its unique personality. They're known for their intelligence and can be taught various tricks, demonstrating just how interactive and entertaining these creatures can be.


Finally, owning a Cockatiel is a commitment as they require adequate space for flying and exploring, proper diet, regular mental stimulation, and social interaction. With proper care and love, a Cockatiel becomes not just a pet, but a cherished family member.
