Yes this is fine. Cockatiel's are quite happy being pets as long as they receive a lot of attention. However, a companion is usually much appreciated by your cockatiel whether he or she mates or not.
No. To date, there are no recorded examples of an Australian cockatiel and an African lovebird breeding successfully.
Well, if you spay her no!
Yes, as long as it isn't scared of you.
Cockatiels do not become aggressive unless they are treated badly.
It's not recommended to have a cockatiel in your house with a child who's age is less than 5. Maybe you should wait a few more years.
Never say never, but very unlikely long-term
What? I'm not sure anybody can even understand what you're trying to say. Try putting proper grammar and such into your question, and maybe then we won't be really confused.
Yes, they can and my favorite type is a mix between the cockatiel and the galah cockatoo, it makes a beautiful bird!
it is not very hard but sometimes the males go a bit immature and the female cockatiel does not like immature males. So this is not hard.
Well, it depends on if the cockatiel is willing to raise the egg that is obviously not it's egg. If it is, then the bluebird chick will learn how to live life as a cockatiel. The bluebird will never have a crest, but it will learn the cockatiel's language as it's own and think it is a cockatiel because that is the type of bird it is living with. However, if you had a wild cockatiel and you set a bluebird egg in with the other eggs, the cockatiel would reject the eggs because they do not look right or smell right, and would drop the egg out of the nest. I hope that answered your question. :) - Emily Sage
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!
i have heard of somebody who has had a cockatiel that lived till 30 and stopped breeding at 29 this clearly shows that they will breed for life or until they are infertile
