Design

The cockatiel has a sharply bent beak, which is perfectly designed for eating seeds and berries. Millions of alleged mutations cannot explain this design feature.

Features

• The male is the more brightly colored with its yellow face, forehead, throat, and crest while its tail is gray.
• The female is duller with yellow laterals in the otherwise gray tail.
• Both sexes have orange cheek patches and white patches on their wings.

Fun Facts

• The cockatiel enters its nest hole backward (tail-first).
• The male and female take turns incubating the eggs.
• A cockatiel can learn to mimic sounds such as a car alarm, a ringing telephone, or calls of other birds.
• Cockatiels are strongly nomadic, moving in search of food and water.
