Cockatiels are knows as very sociable birds, so they might get depressed if you leave it alone for long periods of time. They may hit it’s head against the cage, pull it’s feathers, refuse to eat, or become angry. Are you away from home for long periods of time? Get a pair of cockatiels to keep each other company.

This is just too cute!
