Diet & Nutrition

A good Cockatiel mix is the main part of the diet, fresh fruit and vegetables can be used but must be put in a separate dish. The Cockatiel mix should consist of canary seed, white millet, naked oats, hempseed and flaked maize.

A cuttlebone is a good source of calcium and good activity for the Cockatiels, this helps maintain and prevent their beak from becoming overgrown.

Millet sprays, honey bells and seed bars can be used as a treats for rewarding your cockatiel. Fresh food and water should be provided on daily basis.
