Cockatiels are now kept as pets all around the world as they have a good temperament and are easily tamed.
To see the distribution of cockatiels in Australia, see the related link.
In cages, mostly, I would think. Or, if they are like the larger birds in my house, wandering around on top of them, down the stairs and throughout the building, generally causing trouble. But before they understood why the caged bird shrieked? They come from Australia, there are still flocks of them there. They are nothing like endangered. They are prevalent. Here in California, we have flocks of mitred conures--a larger, more parrotlike species. They shriek pretty loudly themselves; on occasion, our birds scream back. I can only imagine the sound of the sky over Sydney. Cockatiels are far from the only wild species of psittacidae thereover wreaking havoc overhead.
The name generally comes from the owner.
If you are referring to how it's species name came about, their name is derived from a dutch word "Kakatielje" which mean "little cockatoo."
Cockatoos come from Australia and the surrounding islands.
Cockatiels breed in a nesting box. If you want to breed cockatiels, you will need to buy one from a pet store.
Cockatiels were in Australia long before European settlers, and probably before the Aborigines.
A male finch can't really live with a female cockatiel as you should not mix straight-beaked and hooked-beak birds.
You cannot. A female cockatiel needs a male cockatiel to mate with her before she will produce fertile eggs. And incidentally, birds do not "fall pregnant".
Yes, they can learn.
A baby cockatiel is named the same as almost all baby birds it is named a chick. hope this helped you!!!!
The unit is not supposed to affect birds, but watch for odd behavior when it is on.

Some birds, such as a cockatiel, will raise the crests on top of their heads so that they resemble crowns. This indicates that the birds are startled, excited, or alarmed.
The purpose of having a cockatiel cage is because they need plenty of room to move around and so you can put objects in the cage so they can climb. The birds love to have plenty of things to do in their cages.
No, only female birds lay eggs. If your cockatiel laid an egg, it's a girl!
is it in there diet if so it's not harmful. never paint your birds toenails it kills them!
No. The only birds that have penises are some duck and goose species. Cockatiel reproductive organs are located inside the bird's body. If a male cockatiel has a fleshy lump near or in his cloaca, he may have a tumor. You should consult your avian veterinarian if you see anything unusual on your bird's body.
