Cockatiel of Australia a documentary

The Cockatiel habitat is explored to make this video. These birds are crested like a cockatoo but have the slender lines of a long tailed parrot and fly like a swift parrot. A previous video on cockatiels is now ipdated to include more flock behaviour

Awesome watching these vids of cockatiels in the wild with my nearly 31 year old 'tiel on my shoulder. He's so spoiled I just can't imagine him out there in the wild.

[@decayedcake1245]

whaaaat 31 years old???

[@chadkochenower6142]

@@decayedcake1245 Yup, my family got little Oliver in Jan/Feb of 1991, when I was 12. He was hatched in Nov of 1990. My mom always regretted not finding out his actual hatch date. Anyway, my mom used to joke that if anything happened to her (my dad passed in '96), that I'd need to take care of him(my brother has a kid and cats). I thought, "yeah right". But, almost 4 years ago she passed from pancreatic cancer and I've been taking care of him since. He is utterly spoiled. Mostly eats human food, and is always out of his cage. He's always been an angry bird. I've always joked that anger has fueled him all these years. But, he is adorable. I've lived with my wife for 3 years now, and though he tolerates her, I and my brother are the only people he shows genuine affection towards. Other than some arthritis that he occasionally presents in his left foot he is otherwise healthy and active.

Watching this from the United States. :) Thank you so much for sharing this gorgeous footage of cockatiels in the wild! Given the extensive footage and very informative commentary, I would imagine it takes a lot of time to make these videos! I am the caretaker of three rescue cockatiels, and your videos are helping provide me with ideas for the dream aviary I am working on for them. It's not the same as flying free in the skies of Australia, but I still want to give them the best life possible. Thank you so, so much for this helpful and educational content!!!

News report in Pennsylvania said a Cockatiel was found that had been missing 3 YEARS. Somehow this tropical bird survived 3 harsh winters in the north United States. I didn’t think they could survive cold weather like that but apparently they can. Makes me wonder if it migrated south by itself and flew back ?? Birds have a amazing way of doing that

[@plumesofoz]

Wow!

[@anserbauer309]

Being birds of the desert and semi-arid regions of Australia, rather than truly 'tropical' birds, they are adapted to cope with both very hot days and very cold nights with freezing temperatures where they are exposed to the elements...... not as cold as the Northern US, but they can certainly tolerate colder conditions than the true tropical parrots.

[@ylw656]

Thank you so much for posting this video. There are not many documentaries about cockatiels online. I’ve kept 14 tiels for some time and it is a wonderful experience to see them happily living in the wild.

Great channel! Subscribed! Cockatiels belong to the cockatoo family which is part of the parrot family. Hybrids occur when species are very much related; hybrids between Cockatiel and Galah called Galatiel do exist. Parrots all have the combination of hooked bills and zygodactylus feet (two toes facing front and two toes facing back).

[@dessertstorm7476]

yes, I've seen those hybrids, they are really nice. I wonder if the hybrids are fertile....

@@levent.a.7280 I said little people, actually meant it in a more endearing than size related way. However, I've never seen a cockatiel being described as medium sized parrot.

[@levent.a.7280]

@@kallistikobold9182 i dunno how you perceive littleness, but for me only budgies, zebra finches,house sparrows , hummingbirds are little, you could say cockatiels are slender but their wingspan and body size are as big as those of dove's, so when cockatiels fly they don't constantly flap the wings they glide like big birds do, which is something little birds can't do while flying
