Cockatiels vs Parakeets?

Question

Which do you like better as a pet? =)

Answer 1

Cockatiels theyre funnyer they no more trix theyre nicer and theyre smarter and u can let them out more with out a worry and they sit on ur sholder and u can take them 4 walks they actualy have specil leshes just 4Cockatiels and theyre funner to play with=]]]

Answer 2

Thats a hard qustion Cockatiels.

Answer 3

If i were u i would get a cockatiel because they are way better!! i used to own a girl and a boy cockateil and they were cute together, but i wouldnt get a pair because usually the males are more mean and aggressive to the females, and like my female bird died because of that a few months later. =(

anyways i still own the male cockatiel and he is so adorable. you can teach them to speak or whistle really good but it takes a while to teach them something.

so u should get a male cockateil because they learn faster and they are nicer..

ps..my bird knows how to whistle very good and could whistle the cucaracha song....its supper cute and hilarious!!!

Answer 4

Cockatiels p**p everywhere too, and will fly everywhere if they haven't been trained right, so that isn't a very fair comparison.

Parakeets are just as intelligent as cockatiels, but they don't scream the way cockatiels do. The parakeets I've known are such sweet birds, and my friends who own parakeets just love them, but everyone I've known who has owned a cockatiel at some point are in agreement that they are crabby and prone to screaming problems. My own 'tiels were pretty grouchy most of the time, too. So, I have to go with parakeets.

Answer 5

lol i like both and i have both :p both are unique in their own way

Answer 6

The first one, I like parakeets, but they p**p everywhere and fly like there's no tomorrow (if you don't have either wings clipped) Some parakeets aren't that nice, so Cockatiels for sure.  

Answer 7

Parakeet aka Budgie

cause they are much more sociable and they are also very loyal. :D

Answer 8

They both make good pets

But it is up to you what you want first buy or borrow a book on the two that you would like then make your decision based on what you want and which you can take care of the best.

A bird is not just for christmas no matter which you decide on they will need your attention and love.
