A good indication that your cockatiel may have pneumonia is if your cockatiel is having trouble breathing and his/her tail is bobbing up and down. I recently lost My cockatiel to pneumonia, I took her to the vet but it just didn't work she still passed away. (R.I.P Scarlett)

Can cockatiels be physically sick?
Yes, cockatiels can get physically sick. In fact, it is very common for a cockatiel to catch a cold or flu. If you experience different coloring of the droppings, or different texture to them, call a vet. If your cockatiel continually sneezes or acts more tired and sulky then usual, call a vet. You can go to a website to look up the signs of a sick cockatiel. Never leave a sick or suspicious cockatiel alone, you may be too late.
What group is the cockatiel?
The cockatiel is a type of Australian parrot.
Why is your cockatiel not very tame?
Cockatiels are wild birds so if they were never tamed when they were young, they will still be untame. It is easier to tame a young cockatiel, however with the right attitude, you can tame an adult cockatiel. You have to start with trust. Taming a cockatiel take a while and one wrong move could ruin all your work. Start with standing next to the cage and talking to your bird. Do this for about a week so your cockatiel gets to know your voice and is calmer around you. Then you could try putting a fresh vegetable (in your hand) next to the cockatiel and hold it there. Don't force the cockatiel to get closer to your hand - this will scare him/her. You need to earn trust. Eventually, your cockatiel will be comfortable with you having your hand near him/her. If you cockatiel is comfortable to actually eat from your hand, you can try picking it up. Do not grab our cockatiel on its back, try to persuade him/her to sit on your finger. Do not force your cockatiel to get onto your hand. This will ruin the trust. Eventually your cockatiel will be ready to sit on your finger and eventually your shoulder! It's all about trust and if you're cockatiel trusts you, it would love to sit on your shoulder!

What is the biggest cockatiel called?
There is no such thing as the biggest cockatiel beacause all cockatiel are small but cockatiels are from the cockatoo family, so its relative ( the cockatoo) will be the biggest.
Why is your cockatiel peeing lots?
Sometimes if your cockatiel is eating a lot of fruit or moist food, such as various citrus fruits, this can cause him or her to express more urine than usual. Stress can also cause a increase in the amount of urine your cockatiel will express but this should not last for more than two days - if it does see your avian veterinarian. To find a avian veterinarian Google avian vet org. If the increase in urine has lasted over 48 hours, then this may indicate your bird in not well. Birds do not show when they are ill and hide symptoms. Unfortunately because of this, its very hard to know when a cockatiel is ill and when you do start noticing symptoms this means your bird is usually very sick. You may not want to hear this but personally I would contact your avian veterinarian and ask for advice. There is a website dedicated to cockatiels called cockatiel cottage which has a lot of useful information about this species. It will prove invaluable. :-)
