A Cockatiel Information Center

 

 

Check back soon: updates coming in June 2008! You'll find informative articles and links about everything cockatiel… and within a few weeks – everything parakeet as well!  Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions so that I can add what you need.  I used to be pretty good with responding to your questions via e-mail, but right now I am focusing on getting the site up again. I left it hanging out here in deporable condition for far too long. At this point, most of the links are not working, but I'm hoping to get everything functional in June 2008. I moved from New Jersey to the far more bird friendly - and beautiful - state of Florida. My job as a network engineer keeps me quite busy, but I'm hoping to be able to work on the site between projects, as well as when I need to take a break from a problem and focus on something more enjoyable than the Cisco IOS code in routers and switches.  One thing that has not and will never change: If you have an emergency or suspect a health problem, PLEASE contact your avian vet immediately!  I will try to post articles that are of interest to the cockatiel community as frequently as possible, so please e-mail me with your thoughts, and let me know if there are any topics that you'd like to see me address.


 

Be sure to check out Are You Ready for Cockatiel Ownership? BEFORE you buy a bird, since there is a lot more to caring for a bird than most people realize.  The Physical Characteristics of the Cockatiel is a good starting point for a school report.  Please feel free to copy any of the information you need for educational purposes.  After all, that is why I started this site in the first place.  I keep adding to the Cockatiel Hazards page as people send me information on their personal experiences, so check that page often.  Soon I will begin work on the parakeet section, which is where I left off two years ago.  I share my home with two of these little jokesters, and I would be remiss to not include info on them as well.  Before I got the parakeets, I never would have believed that birds understand concepts like humor and gravity… but more on that to come!
