In the wild cockatiels are very social they have playmates and live in large social groups. If you own a cockatiel you will need to be aware your bird will need companionship, attention, playtime, toys and most of all time with you. If you do not provide your cockatiel with attention, it can develop psychological feather picking. What you are doing to your bird is the equivalent of a human being kept in solitary confinement, a person will eventually start pulling his hair or chewing his nails to relieve loneliness and mental boredom. One way to avoid your bird becoming distressed is to leave a radio, TV, or tape on when you are not at home. Toys, swings, ladders, bells and mirrors will also help and having a larger cage is always nice. Cockatiels are extremely social birds and they have a great need for social interaction. A single bird will become more attached to its owner so if you are not at home a lot it is better to get two birds if at all possible. It is generally true that two birds of the same sex get along just as well as a mixed pair, even more so if the cockatiels are introduced while they are still young.
