Biki's Aviary - Exotic Bird Care, Breeding & Aviculture Guide

Cockatiels are prey animals. In the wild, showing weakness means becoming someone's meal.

The earlier you spot a problem, the better the outcome. And spotting problems early means knowing exactly what normal looks like first.

One of the most common questions people ask when figuring out how to choose a pet parrot for beginners is: what do I need to have ready before the bird arrives? The cage is always the answer — and it needs to be set up before your bird comes home, not after. Most first-time owners underestimate this step. They buy a cage quickly, put it somewhere convenient, add a few accessories, and assume that's enough. A few weeks later the bird is stressed, picking its feathers, or sick. This guide exists so that doesn't happen to you. For the full picture of cockatiel ownership, visit our Complete Cockatiel Care Guide .
