Estimating the exact number of cockatiel owners can be challenging, as it varies by region and over time. However, it's widely recognized that cockatiels are one of the most popular pet birds, particularly in countries like the United States, Australia, and Canada. Millions of households likely own cockatiels, given their friendly nature and relatively easy care requirements. Specific ownership statistics may vary, but the popularity of these birds suggests a substantial number of owners worldwide.
I personally have a cockatiel of my own and his playmate flew away. He is doing absolutley fine, I just play with him when I can. I don't think its necessary for you to get a playmate for the birdy. Just train it to be nice. You can be its playmate :D
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
The cockatiel is a type of Australian parrot.
Propably not. Hand-reared bird rarely get along vety well with any bird, even if it's his own specie. Even if cockatiel and conure weren't hand-reared, their size-different is too big: conure can easilly kill small-beaked cockatiel.
Cockatiel females are fertilized internally.
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.
You can wean a baby cockatiel when they are at least eight to nine weeks of age.
I would recommend you buy a baby cockatiel. That way it would be more likely to bond with you.
Every form of animal and plant life has a genus. The cockatiel's is Nimphicus.

It really all depends on the birds personalities. Parakeets of good nature, and Cockatiels of a similar nature are good together. If there is any aggression between the two before you put them in the cage together, then keep them separated. The parakeet could get severely injured.
Yes, a gray cockatiel and a lutino cockatiel can have lutino babies. The lutino coloration is a result of a recessive gene, so if the gray cockatiel carries the gene for lutino (which can be the case if it is a split gray), there is a chance that some offspring may inherit the lutino trait. If the gray cockatiel does not carry the lutino gene, all the babies will be gray or gray mutations, but none will be lutino.
