About the Cockatiel
Also known as: Quarrion, Weero
Cockatiel

Cockatiels are native to Australia and are the smallest of the cockatoo family. They originate from the outback regions of inland Australia, and favor the Australian wetlands, scrublands, and bush lands. The cockatiel's distinctive pointed yellow crest is held erect when startled or excited, while a crest slightly tilted indicates a relaxed state of mind. Male cockatiels are very protective and nurturing of their offspring and are known to be very capable of raising their newborns if the mother is unable to.
