Species : Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus), are generally regarded as good pets or companion parrots, having a sweet demeanor, though this is by no means guaranteed. Like most other pets, the manner in which the animal is raised, handled, and kept has a profound effect on the temperament of the animal. Some birds are quite gregarious and sociable while others can be shy, retreating to the back o
f the cage when an unfamiliar figure appears. If handled often and if they have a patient owner the cockatiel(s) will become tame very quickly compared to some of the other parrot species. Their natural habitats include the Savannah and the Grassland areas. The cockatiel is not considered a tree feeder but one of its preferred places is in the eucalyptus trees.
