Cockatiels are larger than finches and budgies, yet they are still one of the best pet birds for kids. They can learn to talk, whistle, and perform tricks, making them delightful companions for children. Cockatiels thrive with older children who can engage and interact with them regularly. They enjoy time outside their cage, meaning they require more cleanup than finches or budgies. Choose cockatiels for children who are genuinely interested in keeping and learning about birds. Cockatiels typically live for 15 to 20 years, though some can reach up to 30 years.
