Cockatiels are social parrots that need daily interaction, safe exercise and a spacious enclosure with room for their crest, wings and long tail. Provide varied safe perches, gentle enrichment and a calm routine. Their small size does not remove their need for attention or a long-term care commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSettling in safely\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrepare the enclosure before delivery. Give your bird a calm settling-in period, a predictable routine and gentle, positive interactions. Semi-tame does not mean that a bird will immediately accept handling. Let it approach at its own pace; never chase, punish or force contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep a new bird separate from resident birds, ideally in another room, and arrange an avian veterinary check.

Provide fresh drinking water, a suitable balanced diet and appropriate fresh vegetables. Avoid an all-seed diet. Offer safe chewing and foraging activities, varied perches and supervised exercise in a secure room. Protect birds from smoke, aerosols, overheated non-stick cookware, open windows, fans and other pets. Allow a quiet, regular night’s rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMonitor appetite, droppings, activity and body weight. Persistent fluffed posture, unusual quietness, breathing difficulty or reduced eating need prompt avian veterinary attention; birds can hide illness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIndependent guidance:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/cockatiels-general-information\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eVCA: cockatiel care and information\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.merckvetmanual.com\/exotic-and-laboratory-animals\/pet-birds\/management-of-pet-birds\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMerck Veterinary Manual: pet-bird care\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/vcahospitals.com\/know-your-pet\/introducing-a-new-pet-bird\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eVCA: introducing a new bird\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePrepare your setup with BirdsMalta\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExplore \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/parrotbird-cages\"\u003ebird and parrot cages\u003c\/a\u003e, including the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/calla-parrot-cage-blue-f66df4\"\u003eCalla cage\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/tesoro-parrot-cage-with-play-top-61-56-160-cm\"\u003eParrot House play-top cage\u003c\/a\u003e.
