female cockatiels

The female Cockatiel is a beautiful and gentle-looking companion bird, recognized for her delicate feather patterns and expressive crest. While males are often associated with singing and whistling, females have their own distinctive communication habits. They can be affectionate, curious and socially responsive, especially when raised in an environment where they receive regular attention. Their physical differences become easier to recognize once they reach maturity, particularly in normal grey-colored Cockatiels.
