'''Status:''' Least Concern. Global Population: unknown.

'''Diet:''' Grass seeds, nuts, berries and grain. They may feed either on the ground or in trees, and always in groups of either small to large numbers.

Cockatiels are more closely related to the Calyptorhynchinae family (black cockatoos) than to the Cacatuinae family (white cockatoos).

Cockatiels are one of the most popular companion birds due to their size, and mild temperment. While capable of speech, cockatiels are much better at mimicking whistles. The average lifespan of a cockatiel in captivity is generally 12-20 years.
