Cockatiel

'''Breeding:''' Cockatiels can breed at any time, usually in response to availability of water. Both sexes share the incubation of the eggs, which are laid in a hollow, high up in trees. Suitable nesting areas are close to water. Cockatiels enter the nest hollow tail first.

'''Cool facts:'''  The cockatiel's scientific name “Nymphicus hollandicus” comes from one of the earliest groups of Europeans to see cockatiels in their native habitat. Travelers from Holland thought they were so beautiful that they named them after the mythical creatures, the nymphs. The species name refers to New Holland, an old name for Australia where they were found.
