Your Stafford vet knows that you carefully evaluate the care needed for any pet you are considering bringing into your home. Every pet will have different needs that must be met, and you should be well aware of these before making a decision about whether or not to take one home.

If you are thinking of adding a cockatiel to your family, be prepared to take on the responsibility as you would for any other parrot. She will need regular care and training to thrive in your home. A large part of this is socialization. You should interact with your cockatiel, as well as any other members of the household. Choose a good quality cage that will give her ample room to move about, and place perches at reasonable distances. You should give your bird plenty of toys to keep her busy throughout the day, and she should be fed seeds, berries, and fruit. See details here Stafford Oaks Veterinary Hospital.
