About The Author:

Hi, I've been a cockatiel carer since 2020 and since then, I've learnt and extensively researched so much about their needs, behaviours, and generally how to give them a good life in our homes!

Using my own experience, the experience of other parrot owners, and the advice of vets, professional bird trainers, and other reliable sources, I aim to share everything about parrot care in a way that's easy to digest.
