A Cockatiel is a small, Australian bird. These birds can fly and each one is different from the next, (in color). These birds can also be kept as pets.

Cockatiels are in the Parrot Family. They can be a household pet and are easy to breed.

As a caged bird, cockatiels are second in line of popularity to the Budgerigar (Budgie)

Males tend to copy sounds more than females, but females bond very strongly with their owners.

Cockatoos are a large type of parrot, distinguished by a crest. The crest raises when the birds are excited, alarmed or frightened.

Cockatoos are native to Australia, some islands of the South Pacific including Papua New Guinea, and some of the Indonesian islands.

The cockatiel is a member of the parrot family, so virtually all parrots and members of the parrot family are cousins of the cockatiel.
