BIRDSFeathered Friends

I have a pet cockatiel and I am considering getting a parakeet/budgie. Would this be a good idea?

The cockatiel is a 2 year old rescue who has some trust issues, but when I took her in to get clipped there was a budgie next to her. She seemed really interested in the budgie so the worker let the budgie out while she was out. They seemed to get along relatively well. Is this dependent on the bird or typical between cockatiels and parakeets?

Cockatiels and parakeets are known to get along and can even be kept in the same cage. Each bird is different though and you can’t guarantee your cockatiel and the parakeet you get will get along.

By all means I would say go for it, if you have the time, but make sure you keep them in separate cages until you know how they’ll react to one another.

Cockatiel $98.77 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus), also known as the Quarrion and the Weiro, is the smallest cockatoo endemic to Australia. They are prized as a household pet and companion parrot throughout the world and are relatively easy to breed. As a caged bird, cockatiels are second only in popularity to the Budgerigar.The cockatiel is the only member of the genus Nymphicus. It was previously considered a crested parrot or small cockatoo; however, more recent molecular studies have assigned it to the Cockatoo subfamily Calyptorhynchinae (commonly known as Dark Cockatoos). It is, therefore, now classified as the smallest of the Cacatuidae (Cockatoo family). Cockatiels are native to the outback regions of inland Australia, and favour the Australian wetlands, scrublands, and bush lands. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Tennoe, Mariam T./ Henssonow, Susan F.
