Cockatiels are native to the arid and semi-arid regions of Australia but tend to always stay close to water, namely scrublands and bushlands. The species is largely nomadic and will constantly move to wherever food and water are readily available.  They readily breed in the wild and are easy to breed in captivity, making them far more affordable than most other parrot species.

Temperament

These birds are outgoing, friendly, and extremely comical, making them a popular pet bird. In the wild, these birds live together in flocks and are highly social, and tamed Cockatiels consequently tend to bond strongly with their owners. This is why the Cockatiel is not a great choice of pet if you are away from home frequently, and at the very least, you should get a pair if this is the case.
