Cockatiels are now a very popular pet.

They are greyish blue in colour with a distinctive yellow crest and orange ear markings. They have white wing coverts although in females this is greyer. The beak is greyish blue and they have a longish tail. The female is duller in coloration.

They eat both seeds and fruits.
