Cockatiels

The cockatiel is not endangered. Its official conservation status is secure in every state of Australia except for Tasmania, where it is not found in the wild.

little and grey

Yes, cockatiels love almonds. They have calcium and protein. If you have a female cockatiel feed her these when she is laying eggs.

Birds do not grow hair.

approximately Rs.700

Most of the time the parents will feed it

you must keep checking a couple times a day to make sure their crop is full.

sometimes the parents will not feed 1 or 2 chicks and you will have to hand feed them yourself.However be careful when you hand feed them,im not sure exactly how but you must know what your doing.Have someone show you like the vet or a near by breeder?

Your bird needs urgent attention from the vet.

No, cockatiels should only be housed with other cockatiels. Not only do other types of birds have different types of diets, but they also have different personalities and will sometimes clash with cockatiels.

I don't want to alarm you, but they may never come back without the aid of humans, whether it's you or another person. Be aware, if you find a lost bird, do not just think "finders keepers". That bird belongs to somebody who loves them and is worried.

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".

Seems as if you have a female despite what you were told. Females will lay eggs on occasion even if there is not a male present. Leave the egg until the female loses interest.

Cockatiels sway from side to side and hiss when they are afraid of something. He/she is warning you to leave before they bite. As you've only just got him/her it's best to give them a day or two to relax and settle in, before beginning to tame them.

Are these the first few clutches that they have laid? If so, they abandon, (or even eat), them. I hope that this answers your question.

No, it's not a good idea. Corn chips have too much salt to be a healthful treat for your bird. Plain whole wheat toast is a safer treat if you want to share something crunchy with your bird.

It is not a good idea. If you provide a larger nesting box for the cockatiel and a small one for the budgie, there should be no problem. If the budgie has already claimed the larger nesting box as her own, you will never train her to leave, and will need to buy another large box for the cockatiel.

Sometimes if your cockatiel is eating a lot of fruit or moist food, such as various citrus fruits, this can cause him or her to express more urine than usual. Stress can also cause a increase in the amount of urine your cockatiel will express but this should not last for more than two days - if it does see your avian veterinarian. To find a avian veterinarian Google avian vet org.

If the increase in urine has lasted over 48 hours, then this may indicate your bird in not well. Birds do not show when they are ill and hide symptoms. Unfortunately because of this, its very hard to know when a cockatiel is ill and when you do start noticing symptoms this means your bird is usually very sick. You may not want to hear this but personally I would contact your avian veterinarian and ask for advice.

There is a website dedicated to cockatiels called cockatiel cottage which has a lot of useful information about this species. It will prove invaluable. :-)

yes, they are allowed to consume apples. The only thing tat i currently know of that dogs aren't allwoed to consume other than chocolate is grapes, since thy cause liver failure in all dogs

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

yes

I don't suggest it. Even if you trust your dog completely, dogs natural instinct is to hunt for food. Or, even if hey don't try to kill your bird, they might see it as a toy and try to play. If they are too rough, it could easily result in a dead bird. :( Please be careful.

should be able to since they are both hook beacks

My cockatiel loves to eat pineapple, it is his favorite snack besides millet.

Cockatiels can eat millet and they love it! It is a treat, though, and should be given to them occasionally to avoid overweight cockatiels.

About twice as hard as a Budgie.
