The cockatiel, also known as the Quarrion and the Weiro, is a member of the cockatoo family endemic to Australia. They are ideal as a household pet and companion parrot throughout the world and are straightforward to breed in an aviary. They are relatively easy to tame and will interact. If they are kept in a spacious aviary they should mix well with Budgies, Parakeets and Quail. Cockatiels are second in popularity to the budgie.
