a cockatiel is part of the parrot family.

Parrot= a bird, often vividly colored, with a short down-curved hooked bill, grasping feet, and a raucous voice, found especially in the tropics and feeding on fruits and seeds. Many are popular as cage birds, and some are able to mimic the human voice.

Why do cockatiel birds sit with their back to you?

It means it's frightened. A cockatiel sitting with its back to you is not usually frightened, as a frightened bird is more likely to flap and cower in a corner, keeping its eyes on you, rather than turning its back to you, which would render it vulnerable to predation. If a cockatiel sits with its back to you, it can mean the bird is distressed or ill. It can also mean the bird is, quite simply, sulking. Cockatiels bond strongly to their owners, and if a new pet is introduced, or something unusual happens in the household, a cockatiel will sometimes react in a seemingly human way - by sulking.


Does a male cockatiel have an actual penis?

No. The only birds that have penises are some duck and goose species. Cockatiel reproductive organs are located inside the bird's body.
