Cockatiels at Knockhatch Children's Farm

A small member of the cockatoo family

They are natives of Australia where they are found in semi-arid (dry) areas although always near a source of water

All pet cockatiels are bred in captivity as Australia does not allow any native wild animal to be exported

All of our birds have come to Knockhatch because their previous keeper was moving home and was unable to take them with him
