Cockatiels

We currently have 47 cockatiels up for adoption. Many of these are currently not tame, though some are. If you've been thinking about adding a cockatiel to your house, there has never been a better time to adopt one, as we have so many to choose from!

As I was walking by their cage last week, one of the tiels was standing over two other tiels, watching them:These three are all tame. They rushed up to the front of the cage when I stopped to say hi. They love to get attention and will shine once they're in a good home!

The majority of our not tame flock is living in the giant cage that Cages by Design donated to us several years ago. Though these birds tend to prefer the companionship of their own species over humans, it can be fascinating to watch them, and we can help you to set up a cage with two same sex birds if you'd like some birds that don't necessarily want a lot of human interaction.

These pictures are a bit blurry as they were taken through the plexiglass front to their cage:We are currently unable to take in any more cockatiel surrenders until we are able to adopt more cockatiels out. Many of these birds were from the confiscation earlier this year -- they have all overcome their early nutritional deficiencies and are now just waiting for a good home!
