 | | Hello, my name is Binky
the Cockatiel. I wake
up at the crack of dawn every morning chirping my heart out
until someone lets me in and feeds me. I love to be petted, especially by Danny my co-owner. I am a female
and have been laying eggs, but I cannot seem to hatch a baby.
Maybe I need to settle down with a mate? I love to run all over the house. Cookie, the beagle
does not bother me. Just give me fresh food and water every couple of days and I am
happy.
General Care:
Cockatiels need fresh water everyday. Feed them a diet of enriched
bird seed made for cockatiels. Also, cockatiels need some fresh green
vegetables in their diet. Binky likes crusty bread also.
Clipping:
To clip their wings or not to? I keep Binky's wings moderately clipped so
she cannot fly away, but she can get around.
For more information on care, breeding and much more, visit the National Cockatiel Society's
web page.
