Eric the Cockatiel
Hi, I really like birds and am hoping to be an ornithologist later in life. So I got a cockatiel after doing the appropriate research to determine what bird is right for me and my limited expirence. His name is Eric and if you have any advice on owning cockatiels feel free to give it.
Thanks for your help

A warm welcome to you and the very handsome Eric! Glad you joined us. You are in good company, lots of cockatiel lovers here. What kind of advice are you hoping for? Diet, cage and set up, training, health, talking? Eric will probably be happy to train you to his advantage. Enjoy your new companion.

Welcome to you and Eric. Cockatiels are great and popular birds. How old is Eric? This is a great forum with lots of folks who have tiels, including myself, so if there's any specific advice you want, we're a pretty helpful bunch.

Welcome! Cockatiels are great birds! They are sweet, whistle beautifully and easy to be with in general (I know there are exceptions sometimes but mine were great). They need regular baths because they are dusty birds. Enjoy!
