The Cockatiel

I figured I would write a little bit about something different. I have a bird named Buttercup and she is a cockatiel. I will post about her later. I am going to write about her breed of bird, the Cockatiel.

Cockatiels live wild in Australia from which they originated from. They are classified as a small cockatoo. They are sweet tempered and are very playful if tame. They can live as long as 30 years. They should be talked to, handled and played with everyday to be healthy. Cockatiels come in a variety of colors the dull feathers are female and the bright are male. They can be taught to speak and imitate things, males are best at this. They can preform tricks also. These birds are fun. My Cockatiel is fun and she is so sweet. I have enjoyed her.
