Male cockatiel singing and dancing!♾

Do you know any of the curiosities about cockatiels? The bird, owner of a characteristic yellow crest and pink spots near the beak, as if it were a blush, is a friendly and peculiar animal, surrounded by curious facts about its behavior.

Communication through the crest
It is possible to know the mood of the cockatiel thanks to its crest. By the movements of its yellow tuft, which is responsible for the uniqueness of the animal, it is possible to know if it is euphoric or frightened - usually when the feathers on its head are high - or if it is calm - when the feathers are lowered.

Extreme loyalty
The female cockatiel can take even years to find the ideal partner. This is because they are monogamous birds, having the same partner for the rest of their lives. The process of conquering females is difficult, since they tend to be very strict in their choice.
