How can you care for a cockatoo?

A new cockatiel primarily needs a sense of security. Make sure its cage is fully set up so that you do not need to disturb its surroundings. Remember to cover it at night with a light blanket, and keep other pets away until it is used to its surroundings.

Talk to your cockatiel a lot. It has probably had other birds around it all its life, and the sudden silence would cause a real sense of loneliness.

Keep the water clean, and the seed dish full. Do not offer too many treats at the beginning - again, these need to be introduced slowly. Too many changes all at once will make it harder for the bird to settle.

Why is the pink cockatoo endangered?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Unlike the Galah, which has thrived, the Pink Cockatoo has suffered enormously from land clearing for grazing and agriculture, which has greatly reduced native food plants for this species, as well as dramatically reducing its breeding sites. As a species the Pink Cockatoo requires extensive woodlands in order to support a viable population. During breeding, Pink Cockatoo pairs are fiercely territorial and will not tolerate others within several kilometers of their nesting site. With so few suitable nesting areas now available, the Pink Cockatoo is declining at an alarming rate in the wild. Trapping for illegal bird trade has exacerbated this decline.

What is a cockatoo?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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.

Asked by Wiki User

White cockatoos are also known as the Umbrella Cockatoo and are native to the Indonesian islands. Like all cockatoos, they feed mostly on seeds and grains. They have strong, curved beaks which are ideal for cracking hard seeds and nuts. They also enjoy a bit of sweet nectar from blossoms, and occasionally fruit.
