How are Cockatiels living in nature in Australia?

I am a Japanese , and I love Cockatiels very much!


How are Cockatiels , which don't live in human houses, living in nature in Australia?





We, cockatiel-lovers in Japan, keep Cockatiels in our house as a member of family.


So, we can't image cockatiels of nature fly freely in Australia ,though often hearing it.





In銆€Japan, crows and sparrows are always seen in both the cities and the country,everywhere.





Can you ,in Australia, see cockatiels, as if we always saw crows and sparrows?





Though most of us hate crows because crows銆€scatter銆€our銆€garbage,


do you,Australians, like cockatiels of nature?





Are they seen as harmful birds?

I have studied in Australia and Africa, and i have to say this much, over the years of doing my research, they are as pesky as pigeons in the states. As a matter of fact they shoot the cockatoos out of barns just like we do for destroying the crops.





As per one comment to the life span, cockatiels can live up to 35 years in captivity depending on the diet you feed. The main staple of any bird in their natural enviroment are insects and then dead carcasses (dead animals). The bones being very important to their diet for the bone marrow which is high in protein, calcium, and rich in nutrients. Birds are meat eaters if given the chance.





Since birds are controlled by humans in captivity, they are not living as long as they should be. Why you ask, because of what we humans are taught to feed them. If we put a little common sense together and treat them as children, they will live longer and happier lives with us.





Cockatiels, cockatoos, forage in gardens, and fields and become pests just like any normal birds would do in the wild. When they flock together they can become pest, and destroy also.





Good luck!
I have 2 cockatiels right now..and i ve had others in the past..they do very well in captivity. One i had lived to be 15 yrs old. They do better in captivity cuz there arnt preditors to eat them and such.





I love cockatiels. i dont live in australia. i would assume they just fly around like other birds but arnt nusences.





Hope that answers your question
