The Colorful Cockatiel

If you’re familiar with the cockatiel, then you may know that it’s typically a bird with a gray and yellow head and orange patches around and near the cheeks. But, did you know that the cockatiel actually comes in all kinds of colors? There are various color mutations that have occurred in this bird over the years. Today, there are the usual colors plus colors known as lutino, albino, pied, and cinnamon. These colors have also mutated into newer color patters in the cockatiel. The different color patterns make the cockatiel a pretty unique bird. He’s also unique because he’s the second most popular pet bird. He’s often described as loyal, playful, intelligent, personable, sweet, cuddly, and puppy like in the way he follows people around when out of his cage. The cockatiel is also a great first bird for pet owners and he does well with children. For more information, talk with your veterinarian Ellicott City, MD.
