[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Diet:<\/strong> seeds, fruit and vegetation from the ground.<\/p>\n

Reproduction:<\/strong> They are monogamous. Before mating, usually during the rainy season between August and December and only once a year, the couple exhibits ritualized behaviours and vocalizations. They build their nests in tree cavities and lay 4 to 7 eggs. The incubation period is 17 to 23 days and the chicks become independent and leave the nest at 5 weeks. Both the male and female work together to incubate the eggs and care for the young.<\/p>\n

Distribution and Habitat:<\/strong> Australia. They live in open fields near freshwater courses.<\/p>\n

Behavior:<\/strong> They are gregarious birds that form flocks of up to thousands of individuals. They have specific migratory routes within Australia. They can reach speeds of up to 64 km\/h. The way cockatiels present their feathers is indicative of their state of mind. They contract their feathers when they feel threatened and expand them when they are satisfied.<\/p>\n
