upatsix.com - Your Source For Pet Bird Information

Can anyone recommend a good tiel book? I have so many questions about Petey's behaviors and how I should have my cage set up, where i should put food/water bowls and toys. Plus, what are there most active times, etc.

Hi!

Try going to this site:

www.cockatielcottage.net

It has wonderful information on just about anything you want to know about Cockatiels.....I have copied many pieces of ino from there and made my own binder for reference. Good Luck!

You can buy used books online---they are really cheap, that is what I did. I bought "cockatiels for dummies" and "why do cockatiels do that?" used. Here is the site.......

I like "the new cockatiel handbook" and "parrots for dummies" I noticed alot of the cockatiel books go into detail about color mutation for breeding. Since I don't care about that and it doesn't effect the bird in any way I found that the "parrots for dummies" gives a lot of basic care and does get species specific for some things.
