I want a cockatial?

Question

i am looking into getting a bird. I know about clipping the wings and how to tell if your bird i sick, and taking it to the vet, lifespan, diet, cage, handiling, and changing the cage. Is there anymore info i should know, before getting one?

Answer 1

I have had three cockatiels in my family (one when I was a kid and a mating pair) and in my experience, the males that we had were pretty feisty.  Make sure that you socialize your bird a lot.  Pay a lot of attention to him or her.  In the long run, that will make you and your bird happy.  Good luck with your new cockatiel.

I should also point out that you need to get some toys for your bird to play with and some treats that the bird might like.

Answer 2

The best information I can give you is to purchase a book so  you will know as much as you think you do. It sounds like you know all there is to know about them. A book can be put up on the shelf and forgotten. A bird has to be taken care of day after day for it's entire life.

Answer 3

what kind of enviroment is good for them, what makes them scared, treats, tricks, toys .....i suggest getting a book on cockatiels so you can refer to that if you ever need any help...or the internet works too good luck :)
