A little present for you cockatiel folks...

Just ran across these and wanted to share.
Wild Cockatiels... just look at these amazing little parrots... such a harsh environment... but they succeed. They are so beautiful against the neutral background/environmental landscape colors.

Wow amazing that is a lot of tiels! They all look like Rascal... especially the one sleeping at the very end LOL. He loves to sleep he's a super laid back bird... unlike CooCoo'Nut!!

Thank you for sharing. The second video was teary in a good way, thinking about my tiel. It was fun learning again about them.

I adore cockatiels (and cockatoos). When I was at a friend's house I used to know (she passed away in January), I let Baby out (all of her birds were in the cage) and Baby decided to fly...right towards her cockatiel's cage.

There is just something magical seeing birds in the wild in their own habitat, freely. One of my dreams is to one day visit some birds' natural habitat (unfortunately, there are some birds who are endangered) and see them.
