Cockatiels (also known as skylarks) are beautiful birds, but they also have a few taboos to be aware of. The following are three important no-nos in cockatiel care:


1. Dietary taboos: The cockatiel’s diet should be reasonable and balanced, and food that is harmful to it should be avoided. Some common dietary taboos include: chocolate, caffeine, fried foods, foods with too much salt, alcohol, and condiments and additives found in human foods. These foods may have a negative impact on your cockatiel's health and even lead to poisoning or other health problems.


2. Poison taboos: Cockatiels should stay away from toxic substances and dangerous items. This includes household cleaners, pesticides, chemicals, aromatherapy products, smoke and smoke, and more. These substances may cause damage to the parrot's respiratory, digestive and nervous systems.


3. Neglect of socialization and stimulation: Cockatiels are social birds and they need interaction and stimulation with humans and other birds. Neglecting this social need can lead to behavioral problems, emotional problems, and health problems. Give your cockatiel adequate time and attention, and provide an appropriate environment and toys to meet its socialization and stimulation needs.


In addition to the above taboos, attention should also be paid to maintenance requirements such as providing suitable drinking water, appropriate temperature and humidity, appropriate exercise and flying space. It is also important to take your parrot to the veterinarian regularly for health checkups.


Remember, each cockatiel has individual differences and special needs, so it's best to consult a veterinarian or professional bird care professional for specific advice and guidance for your parrot.
