The cockatiel was first found in Australia, they like to roam around the wetland and like to be free, they like to travel in small flocks and sometimes in pairs. The cockatiels are adopted and cheap in cages.

Cockatiels hiss when they are frightened or feel threatened, that will mean you need to leave it alone till it clams down or it will give you a nasty bite. If a bird’s cage mate dies they might scream, or it will scream when there is danger by, if a cockatiel feels threatened it will move to a corner and you will need to leave it for a little bit. If your bird hangs up side down it just mean that your bird is playful and enjoys life.

People like having cockatiels as pets because they are fun and intelligent.
