A well-balanced Cockatiel diet consists of specialized pellets (should make up 60 to 70% of diet), plus fresh vegetables, fruits and small amounts of fortified seeds. Fresh food and water should always be available. Vegetables and fruits not eaten within a few hours should be discarded.
Avoid non-stick cookware and appliances, as well as cleaning agents, as they can release fumes hazardous to your bird's health.

I just purchased a lutino cockatiel from a breeder 3 days ago. I believe is inbred. The breeder believes it's a 4 month old male. Large feet, large eyes, and lower mandible large. Broken tailfeathers were pulled out to re grow and did not make a sound. Does not scream. Whistles sorta when u whistle. Eats poops and drinks normal. Big poops though. Unbalanced when on finger and shakes. Not hand fed and the most calm bird ever. Sits still until is hungry or thirsty. Doesnt play. Likes necklaces. ??
I have a cockatiel. It's very drowsy doesnt move about or perch. Eyes are closed. Head is kept on its own body
Cockatiel lifting back showing red private part and making noises. It has yellow face so it’s a male I think.
Can you help me with my cockatiel?
I bought a bonded pair of white cockatiels quite a few months ago from a breeder of large parrots .They looked healthy but I still kept them in their own cage for several months before putting them in my aviary with my other cockatiel s .The male one seemed to be picking out female's head feathers in spring which can be normal but then her eye started to look closed a bit like sore but then it opened again as they are all on added breeding vitamins and calcium and greens fruits and soft foods I
My cockatiel aren't giving eggs
My cockatiel is sneezing
Hi there, I have a pair of Cockatiel, in which one seems to be normal and the other one has a small patch on the head below the raised yellow feather on the head, where there is no hair, is that normal and sometimes it keeps his head back on feathers with eyes open.
Cockatiel's wings tucked between the legs. Gets in the way and falls
Hi. Yesterday I got a female cockatiel, around 4 or 5 months old, she has a bad digit, as she has difficulty walking and climbing, plus her poop looks bad to (mostly diarrhoea) and she is not very active either. She is very friendly and easy to handle, but I’m keeping her away from my other birds just in case she has some sort of illness. My vet is closed due to corona virus, and there aren’t any other avian vets around me, which is why I am relaying on an online advice. Thank you
I have a 10 yo male cockatiel that has no strength at all and was losing his balance on the bottom of the cage. He would tip forward but not have the strength to right himself. He isnt eating or drinking any water and his wings are drooping. His feathers are very ruffled and unkempt.
