Cockatiel
Nymphicus hollandicus
Adult cockatiels inhabit arid and semi-arid Australian grasslands, scrub, and open woodland, often gathering near water. They forage mainly on grass seeds and grains, using their curved bills to husk food. Fast, direct flight helps them travel between feeding areas and escape danger. Their upright yellow crest is raised during alertness, excitement, and social display.
