The time for giving gifts and presents has arrived. Everyone likes to receive gifts, and so does your cockatiel. Here are some gift ideas you can give to your cockatiel to help celebrate the festive season. Note that not any toy will do for your cockatiel. Toys designed for smaller birds will easily be crushed by the cockatiels strong and powerful beak, and the plastic fragments may hurt and injure cockatiel, so be sure to buy the right gifts for your pet.
10) Fruits and Salads
Cockatiels love to eat fruit. Some good fruits they like to eat include apples and pears, but you have to slice very, very thinly otherwise they won’t eat. Cockatiels also like salads like lettuce and cucumber. Fruit and Salads are great because not only do they give your cockatiel nutrients, they also taste great and your cockatiel enjoys eating them.
