I'm thinking about adopting a cockatiel As of right now I'm taking care of a little sparrow unable to fly from a friend of mine It awakened some bird love inside of me, and I did find cockatiels really cute and easy to get

So any advice about them, on a daily basis, what should I know before hand, what not to do, what should I prepare for, etc Would be very appreciated, thanks!

Ciri was found on a neighbor's balcony one morning, after a night of fireworks, The neighbor called me, knowing I had birds. I picked her up and set her up in a backup cage, and began posting ads online and sending info to the local vets. After years of looking, I never found her owners. She has been bonded to me since the moment I picked her up, and won't leave my side, always whistling and wondering what I'm up to. She's the princess of the house now, and I wish her old family could know that she's being loved. ❤️
