Today, probably, every family has a pet that brings joy to its owners. Just don’t forget that it will require proper care. One of the most popular feathered pets is the Corella or budgerigar. Reviews from owners note the bird's curiosity.
The parrot has an unpretentious disposition and leads an active lifestyle. The color of the feathers is quite bright. Therefore, they attract attention and add some bright colors to a boring home. In addition, they study well. Therefore, with a little effort, they can be taught to pronounce some simple words. And in the morning he will wake you up with his unique voice.
Lifespan of parrots
If you want a Corella parrot to live in your home (reviews from owners confirm that this is one of the best breeds of parrots), then you need to know about its life expectancy.
After all, the loss of a family member can be a real blow for you and your children. In the wild, this bird lives on average about 10 years, since with age it becomes increasingly difficult for them to get food and escape from predators. But at home, their life expectancy can reach 20 years. There have been cases when parrots lived up to 30 years, but for this they need to be properly cared for.
Conditions of detention
Corella is a parrot (care, maintenance and reviews below) that has incredible beauty.
In order for your pet to live long and happily, and always please its owners, you must adhere to the following tips and recommendations for its maintenance:
- This breed of parrots is unpretentious in matters of diet, however, it is recommended to provide your pet with high-quality and nutritious food.
- The cage with the parrot should be in a place protected from drafts, and the air temperature should be at 22 degrees.
- In winter, it is necessary to maintain air humidity at 55-50%.
- The cage in which the Corella parrot is kept, reviews from owners note a strong sensitivity to foreign odors, must be constantly maintained in a clean condition. To do this, you need to change the litter regularly.
- Corella differs from other breeds in its sociability. Therefore, you should protect her from any stressful situations. To do this, it is worth keeping them in spacious cages, which will have room for toys.
- If you have small children at home, you need to make sure that they do not scare the parrot.
According to reviews, Corella parrots do not require special care. They adapt best at the age of 2-3 months. Therefore, if you decide to have this amazing bird at home, then you should not buy too old birds.

They write reviews about cockatiels, who are very good at what. He yells in the morning - turn off the lights for him at 24 hours, he will breathe in the morning if necessary until lunch. There is a lot of garbage - place a deep basin-type tray under the cage. The parrot is swearing - maybe they gave him something fatty, maybe they released him and pecked at something inedible, the pancreas got hooked. We don’t even give RIO, but just striped seeds, millet, oats - there were no problems from the market. Yes, a cockatiel is a bird with character, a new owner was either given to someone for a while or left alone for a long time - it is a huge stress for her, and if it is not a nurse or the chick was partially hand-fed - it takes time to tame, hand-feed more often, more communication .

Advantages:
- Beautiful
- large parrot
Flaws:
- Apathetic and nasty cry
We took a cockatiel instead of a lovebird (it attacked, pecked and gnawed everything it saw in the room). They called him Kuzenka and he behaved accordingly. He doesn’t like to wash himself in the fountain, and he doesn’t clean his feathers often either.
The first impressions of the cockatiel are pleasant, compared to the cockatiels and lovebirds. The parrot is large, beautifully colored (especially the cheeks) and has a crest on its head, in general a copy of a cockatoo.
He hasn’t learned to talk yet, but his scream is disgusting (even covering the cage doesn’t help). You can feed without special mixtures, just enough grain, seeds, fruits, and you need to buy vitamin supplements. I haven’t noticed any special intelligence yet either.

In 2013 we bought a parrot. Before buying, we didn’t read anything about cockatiels, so we went to the pet store without thinking. I regret this. At the pet store they told us that the parrot was 7-8 months old, I really liked him. It was a boy. We named him Kesha. Of course, it is better to buy a parrot when it is still a chick, at 1-3 months, in order to raise it earlier and teach it to speak. Kesha was very mischievous, he never let anyone near the cage, he always grumbled and bit. But that’s how you talk to him) I started him to respond to my name) Every time I came home, Kesha said! And he: Tweet! This is how you can teach him to respond. Kesha, of course, didn’t say anything, I think it was late in life. Sometimes annoying, constantly muttering under his breath and chirping at night. It makes a lot of dirt, feathers, droppings, and when they eat food it flies in different directions. He can always misbehave.
We kept him properly and fed him good Rio food. But yesterday, February 1, 2021, disaster happened. I came home, Kesha was sitting where he usually was in his place outside the cage. There were some white spots near the cage. Next, Kesha, as always, responded to his name, and then I noticed liquid droppings. He has diarrhea. We gave him smecta, rice porridge, and warmed him up, but he got worse and worse. He can't climb onto his perch. We put him in a cage and he sat on the floor. He was sitting, holding the cage with his beak. I was so worried. Soon he fell, began to breathe, breathe, froze and that’s it. That was the end. I cried so much!!! And now I still can’t believe it. Kesha was my first pet. I loved him despite all his shortcomings!!! I do not recommend getting a parrot, they are very vulnerable to diseases, and they are very, very dirty. The parrot lived with me for about 4 years. I don't know how old he is. At the time of purchase, the store said that it was 7-8 months old, so now he was 4 years old.

My daughter asked for a parrot for her birthday, my dad gave him a cockatiel for a boy with a large cage and all sorts of drinking bowls and feeders. My daughter named him Kesha (apple cheeks, that’s what we called him). At first he was afraid of us, adaptation and all that. The door was never closed, and he never flew out, it’s surprising why. Sometimes Kesha clings with his beak and paws and climbs out of the cage, but does not fly because he does not know how. I tried to fly and fell on the floor, poor thing, I’ve probably never flown even once in my entire life. I also thought that they probably always kept him locked up. We came across the vociferous Kesha, singing songs). A year later they bought him a girlfriend, her daughter named her Anfisa. There she was, yes, flying all over the apartment))) And Kesha (the downed pilot) was calling her back.

Advantages:

- in this review you can read some recommendations about how we tamed
Flaws:
- We have no cons yet, the bird has been living with us for 1.5 months
We bought our cockatiel Yasha 1.5 months ago. I hope we weren’t deceived when they said that it’s a boy and he’s 3 months old (he’s already 4 now and he’s just starting to sing a little), so there’s every reason to think that the breeder is conscientious. When we bought him, he was already walking on a stick (the breeder taught him to do this), but he was afraid of hands. A month later, we gradually got him used to being held (now he walks on his arm) and sits on his shoulder and you can walk around the apartment with him. Also, when we sit on the kitchen table, he begins to move down from his shoulder down his arm, and we gave him buckwheat from a spoon. This is how mom gets used to us little by little, and within a month of his stay we can see the results. When I was a child, I had wavy trees, and they produced a lot of garbage; in any case, ours doesn’t have any garbage (although I hear from many that there is a lot of garbage). We don’t close the cage, he lives freely with us, we also made him a playground so that he had his own place to sit, I didn’t want him to sit on the furniture. We don’t cover the cage with a blanket at night, at least until he wakes us up, I can’t say that he’s noisy, he rarely screams. But this is my review of his month and a half stay with us, I hope everything will be fine in the future. Regarding taming, try taming with a stick, and not directly with your hands; give food on a spoon. You place the stick under the belly, closer to the paws, and he will climb onto it himself. Be patient and you will succeed, we are in the process of raising our bird.

Good day. I want to share my experience about this breed of birds. Since childhood, I have dreamed of a parrot larger than a budgie, and then one day I saw this bird for sale at the market, and I was inspired to buy it! Why! After all, that was my dream! And so I bought it - at first I was delighted with it, but later I began to notice its shortcomings. It didn’t give in to your hands, and if you caught it, it bit worse than the wavy one - its beak is powerful, it bites through the skin instantly - so it’s scary to catch, I was even afraid that my daughter would stick her finger to it - which is what she tried to do, it’s garbage from him too - mom Don’t worry, and even in the morning he screams so hard his ears are blocked, they put him in the kitchen, away from him. So my dreams did not come true, the bird is beautiful but creates a lot of inconvenience.

If you have a living creature in the house, it would be a parrot. We bought it at the poultry market in Chelyabinsk. In a cage on a perch there were 5 of them, identically yellow, with tufts and red cheeks. The choice fell on our Chiga because he somehow brazenly stretched his head higher than the rest and looked at us intently. The parrot turned out to be a little cowardly, he was afraid to leave the cage for so long, but maybe it was for the best, since his friends also liked to chew wallpaper. Ours was “modest”. moderately loud, picky eater, cowardly. I didn’t eat fruits or vegetables - I was afraid to go near them. He ate mostly purchased food and grain sticks. These parrots love to swim. We watered him from a weak shower, and he spread his wings and exposed him, one by one, to the spray of water. In general, we got used to Chiga, lived for 5 years until I fell ill on hot sunny summer days. She rushed to treat him with medicine, fed him and gave him water from a pipette. But, as I read somewhere, if a bird is sick, then it is useless to treat. He literally died in his arms. It turned out to be very difficult - we got used to it. She cried all day and the next. I swore not to have any more animals or birds. But when I go to a pet store with my child, my soul just asks for a bird to come into the house...

Hi all! If you are interested in parrots (I have a cockatiel), their nutrition and maintenance features, welcome))
I’ll start my story by saying that our parrot has been living with us for almost 6 years. It must be said right away that if you don’t have a great love for parrots, then you shouldn’t take it on - you just don’t have the patience. Moreover, this is a great responsibility, because his life and health will be completely in your hands.
So, let's move on to nutrition: the basis should be grain mixtures and seeds (sunflower, pumpkin). Bird breeding specialists make a special mixture, which consists of grated carrots, a boiled egg and ground crackers of ordinary bread (this fills the parrot’s body with vitamins for the day). There should also be fruits and berries (apple, banana, grapes, pear, plum, watermelon, melon. In general, according to the season. But citrus fruits are not allowed!!), vegetables (cucumbers, carrots). And be sure to have small pebbles, ground eggshells and a piece of ordinary coal in a separate feeder, so that the parrot’s digestive system works well (you remember that in birds, food is “ground” in the goiter with the help of sharp pebbles). You yourself will notice that the parrot will come to this feeder from time to time when necessary. And, of course, there should always be clean water.
Of course, to be healthy, parrots must receive a certain dose of physical activity every day. I taught my parrot to play catch all over the apartment. You give him a load and just have fun.
You also need to bathe your parrot from time to time. Usually it is recommended 1-2 times a week in hot weather, less often in cold weather (once every 1-2 weeks). Here you must find an approach to your parrot. The main thing is not to force him or drag him into the water by force. This way you can only achieve fear of water. I used to put a plate of water on the table and kind of play in it with my hands. The parrot became interested and climbed into the water himself. Now he is bathing under the tap.
Ok, here are the basic rules to follow to keep your parrot healthy. I'm attaching a photo of my pet in case you're interested.
Health to you and your pets!

Our parrot Ksyusha has been living with us for 6 years now.
The smartest creature. She absolutely understands everything. It seems to me that he even understands speech. And the way she captures intonation is simply amazing.
You talk to her kindly, she immediately runs up and lets chat (she is a talker), and if you start reprimanding her for something, she will hide in a corner and look out from there with a guilty look.
It's just a dog with feathers. :)

Advantages:
- beautiful
Flaws:
- gets up at 5 am
- screams wildly
- screams
- bites painfully
- litters
I don’t like to paint beautifully, so I’ll say it to the point.
The Corolla was bought secondhand, and the first thing she did when she got to me was to SCREAM! The scream was so loud that even if you closed your ears you could hear everything and you just wanted to run away. Well, I think the bird is scared of the new environment, I waited for a week, all this time my parrot was screaming heart-rendingly. Nothing helped at all...he didn’t let anyone in, he just yelled and yelled and yelled. When he more or less stopped, namely, he only screamed in the morning (he started at 5 a.m. and ended the concert at , I decided to make contact with the bird. Little by little, drop by drop, I taught him to sit on my hand, I spent an hour a day 2 to him. What did this lead to? You can say that I am a bad housewife, that constant contact is needed, etc. But it was to no avail: he hissed, bit, did not allow himself to be touched and screamed. So I suffered with him 2 years, all these 2 years I was desperately trying to get in touch with the bird.
I HAVE NO MORE STRENGTH!
Enough is enough, this is UNBEARABLE anymore. I don’t know what the reason is... maybe I didn’t please him with his face, but I’m tired of walking around with my fingers bitten until they bleed, constantly cleaning up after him (and he sheds incredibly and, excuse my French, shits). You can throw stones at me, but I won't touch him again. My destiny is to feed and clean the cage. I read that he sings beautifully and knows the words. I don’t know if he’s a dunce like me, or if I don’t understand something, but he “sings” terribly. It's like jumping on a rubber toy. And of course he yells. If I could convey this scream... it seems to me that in hell even the sounds are more pleasant than this.
The veterinary clinic said that the bird was healthy, it just had that kind of character.
Sorry, but in the morning he is screaming so hard that you really want to strangle him. These “extra” hours I want to sleep, and not get up at 5 am and put on earplugs. The neighbors also constantly complain, and that’s how I became a worse neighbor than the “drill neighbor.”
And now briefly:
- beautiful bird
- bites until you bleed
- constantly screams
- not amenable to training
- hisses
- doesn't sing beautifully

I was bored at home, so I asked my husband to buy a pet, preferably a dog. So, 3 years ago, a Correll parrot appeared in the house. It is often written about this species that they are easy to care for and there is no hassle at all, but for a beginner, the first weeks with a bird turn into a minor disaster.
This bird is not small, it is much larger than the wavy one, so a large cage is needed. The Corrells rarely talk. Ours mostly parodies some sounds, but there is no speech. As for ingenuity, I agree on this. We really have a lot of intelligence, but more mischief.
He doesn’t eat everything, he needs to buy more expensive food so that all his favorite grains are there. Yesterday's food left in the feeder will not peck. It will squeal throughout the entire apartment, but it won’t eat until you throw out the old one and put in a new one. He loves sticks with fruit. But as soon as you hang it, he immediately throws the food in the feeder and starts tearing at the stick. If he removes his wand, he starts screaming. Once he even refused to eat and demanded the chopstick back.
There is no particular smell from this bird, unless you forget to change its “pot”, wash the cage once every 2 weeks, and do not forget to “bathe” the parrot. It is very important to buy a stone for him, preferably a cuttlefish shell, and toys, so he will be busy and less interested in the paper that lies in the “toilet” tray.
Now, 3 years later, of course it’s not difficult to take care of our butt. More attention is paid to the “friendship” of the cat and the parrot.

Good day to all!
Since childhood, various animals lived in my house: a rabbit, a rat, there were budgies, finches.
Now we have a dog. And so my husband also wanted to get a bird... We went to the pet store and took a long time to choose and still he liked the cockatiel.
What can I say, the parrot is not at all stupid, learns quickly, is energetic and has character!
Already on the second day he got used to the hand, completely settled in and adapted. It seems not a parrot, but a gift from above))) But there is one SIGNIFICANT minus - this is his terrible OR!!! This can’t be called singing, it’s just some kind of ultrasound, this “melody” just breaks my head and my husband’s, it really makes me depressed.
Every morning from 6.00 he is on a roll and so on until 21.00, if his cage is not opened, our Kesha knocks down the door with his beak. We tried covering the cage with a blanket - no result! Sometimes he is silent for half a day, but if he starts to calm down... If he is not in the mood, he hisses wonderfully
We've had him for two months now and it's impossible to get used to it!!!! I wanted to give it to someone, but no one wants it (((So we live with this terrorist.
I’ll definitely never get a cockatiel again and I’ll talk my friends out of it.
What to look for when buying a parrot?
If you like the Corella parrot (expert reviews say that it is very important to be able to choose the right bird), then when purchasing you should pay attention to the color of the plumage, eyes, beak and behavioral factors.
Juveniles have less bright colors than adults, and the tail length is relatively short. On the head of two-month-old parrots you can see a small bald patch, which disappears after the first molt. The young also have black eyes, which become lighter as they grow older, and soft claws that have not yet had time to get stronger, and there is no chic crest on the head, characteristic of this breed of parrots. As for behavioral factors, young birds behave very clumsily and clumsily.
Reviews from cockatiel owners
Owners of cockatiels say that young birds immediately respond to care for them and begin to trust a person. But to tame an adult bird, sometimes it takes weeks and months. What other reviews and tips do owners share about pets?
Owners often describe these parrots as sensitive, gentle creatures. The behavior of feathered pets greatly depends on the attitude of the owner towards him. You cannot offend, neglect, or ignore birds such as the Corella parrot.
After purchasing, you need to make an effort to tame the pet.
- Be quiet around him. Wait a few weeks for the bird to settle into its new home.
- Talk to your feathered friend constantly. He should hear a calm, gentle voice.
- Gradually, the parrot will get used to you and will begin to come closer as soon as it hears a familiar speech.
- Try offering a treat that the cockatiel parrot loves; owner reviews say that this needs to be done carefully. Reach your hand with the food through the cage, but do not approach the bird. She should come to you herself. Do not move while your pet is getting a treat.
- Continue conversations every day, extend your hand with food, but make sure that the bird does not get nervous. At the slightest sign of dissatisfaction or fatigue, stop exercising.
- Gradually, trust will strengthen and you will become true friends.
Here is the real story of a cockatiel owner:
My bird flew onto the closet and sat there. Impossible to drive... Wild to the point of horror. As soon as he sees the hand, he immediately hisses and shrinks away. He sat like that all day, and by evening he began to raise his voice. Well, of course I was hungry... And then I decided to take advantage of the moment. She took the feeder and brought it to his closet. He hesitated for a long time, and eventually approached the feeder. Then I poured a little on my hand - it didn’t fit. Okay... I took one seed and put it on the closet and walked away. Ate it. So 5 times. Then she took the seed in her hands and brought it to him, hissing. Okay... I put the seed down and stood next to him, he walked around and around for a long time - in the end he took the seed. Then I decided to try giving it with my fingers again. And oh, miracle!!!!!! Took it off my fingers!!! he hissed, but took it. An hour later he was boldly approaching my hands, the next day, as soon as I approached the bird, he immediately looked at my fingers and ran up to me.
Some owners complain that the cockatiel yells, this happens for several reasons:
- This happens when a bird changes its owner. The parrot is frightened by the change of environment and therefore screams. Only patience and affection will help here. Don't react to his screams, just leave the room for a while. When the pet gets used to the new environment, the screaming should stop.
- Sometimes birds attract attention so much, they make it clear to the owner that they are bored and require communication. Play with the parrot, let him fly, and he will calm down.
During the period of adaptation to a new place, and during taming, it happens that the cockatiel hisses. By this he shows that he is dissatisfied with something. Parrots often lose their temper during molting. Then they also hiss and get angry.
If your cockatiel bites, do not jerk your hand away sharply, try not to show a violent reaction, because when your pet sees it, it may continue to bite in the future. If the parrot hisses, raises its crest, or, conversely, presses it to its head, leave it alone, let it sit alone and calm down.
If bites are repeated frequently, parrot owners are advised to wear gardening gloves when communicating.
Don't punish your bird for bad behavior. Cockatiels usually don't understand why you yell at them. They may like the way you respond to bad behavior and will continue to do so. Punish gently, for example, ignore the pet.
Instead, reward your parrot when he behaves well by giving him his favorite treat.
According to reviews, almost all cockatiel owners like the way these birds sing. They repeat the melody very accurately and can imitate the barking of a dog or the operation of a vacuum cleaner. The males of these birds do not just chirp, but emit beautiful, ringing trills. If you try hard, the birds can be taught to dance.
What to feed Corella parrots?
The Corella parrot, owner reviews describe its unpretentious diet, eats almost everything that is given to it.
But when caring for this breed, it is very important to create the right diet for your pet, which will be rich in all the necessary vitamins and macroelements. In addition to grain, the parrot should receive greens for food. Various fruits should also be given in large quantities. But that is not all. Cottage cheese and eggs should be given in small quantities. When feeding commercial food, you should choose those that contain a large amount of proteins and amino acids. But various tasty treats, fried, baked and salty foods should be completely excluded. Even a small amount of them can cause great harm to the health of the parrot.
Diseases and their treatment
Corella parrots are susceptible to a fairly large number of different diseases. Therefore, if you notice that your feathered pet has begun to breathe heavily, has signs of diarrhea, has stopped eating, or has started to lose feathers, it is recommended that you immediately contact your veterinarian. This is very important, since it is simply impossible to make a diagnosis on your own, much less choose the appropriate treatment.
The most common diseases are:
- Conjunctivitis. For treatment, use “Furacilin”, one tablet of which is diluted in a glass of warm water, and the eyes are washed with the solution.
- A goiter disease that occurs due to poor nutrition and is accompanied by a disorder of the digestive system. In this case, the bird is given activated carbon, which helps remove toxins from the body.
- Feather loss typically occurs every 6 months. This is a planned molt. Therefore, there is no need to worry. But if at the same time wounds appear on the parrot’s body, then the reason is most likely parasites, which can be gotten rid of with the help of special ointments.
- If your pet refuses to eat and there is discharge coming out of his nose, then this is a sign of a cold. In order for the bird to recover quickly, it is necessary to place the cage with it in a warm place, protected from drafts, and also provide good nutrition, rich in vitamins.
It is worth noting that if any symptoms appear, it is recommended to immediately contact a veterinarian.
CORELLA IN THE HOUSE review
Corella, or Nymph parrot, is a very beautiful bird. Various colors, long sophisticated tail, cute yellow cap with a funny tuft. Smart eyes, calm disposition. This is exactly how I imagined these parrots to be, and that is why I chose them. More precisely, we bought one in a store, and the other was taken from irresponsible owners.
If only I knew then what I was signing up for...
Let's start with the fact that we bought a parrot that no one wanted to buy. Even the seller tried to dissuade us, saying that he was sent here from the nursery because of his obnoxious character. She shouldn’t have said all this - if that’s the case, then we’ll definitely take the poor bird that no one wants!
From the first days our boy began to demonstrate his character - he climbed everywhere he could climb, and even where he could not. It was impossible to trace this Skoda - as soon as it was gnawing on the window sill, it got stuck under a chair; as soon as they pulled it out from behind the sofa, it got stuck between the speakers...
Endless, hypertrophied curiosity is the calling card of all parrots, but it is especially pronounced in CORRELLA. This bird is a perpetual motion machine, and when it finally falls asleep, you start to worry - what happened, where is it stuck again?
We thought it was ours who was so reckless, but no, when a second boy appeared in the house, with a completely different character, there was twice as much running around.
And there was twice as much destruction. I'll tell you this: if you are planning to renovate your house, or you have already done renovations and you do not plan to repeat this action every year, do not take a cockatiel. Everything that can be chewed will be chewed. Wallpaper, moldings, wires (God forbid!), decorative film - and basically everything. Something like this:
Our second big concern is hunting with a napkin at the ready. These are birds. Excuse me, they poop. And wherever necessary. So if living surrounded by litter isn't your dream, you'll have to roll with it.
Trembling singing. Tender songs. Happy chirping. Funny whistle. All this is not about them. CORELLA screams. Of course, they consider it singing and their voice as a heavenly sound, but for some reason these stupid people cannot appreciate real talent. If the cockatiel goes into a frenzy, if he has a singing mood - good luck: headphones, cotton wool, palms and other means of muffling sounds will not help. The nymph's singing interrupts everything. And after just a couple of minutes, it seems to you that they have driven a drill into your brain and shamelessly continue to press the drill button.
So why then are there already a couple of such idiots living in our house? Why do we all tear apart anyone who encroaches on them?
Because cockatiels are incredible creatures.
They are smart. Very smart. If they don't want to do something, you can't force them. If they have something in mind, they will definitely see it through to the end. It is almost impossible to outwit them - you can only come to an agreement.
Corellas are very affectionate and kind. When we arrived at the pet store, our little boy was sitting in the same cage with the wavy animals. They got at him as best they could, but he never showed aggression, although he himself was twice as large and stronger than them. Our boys love to sit on our shoulders, pressing cheek to cheek, or to scratch their back. And also, when I feel bad, the boys sit on me and look into my eyes.
Cockatiels are very sociable. Ours love to listen to bedtime stories, fall asleep to a lullaby, and love to sit and chat about life. And of course, they also like to argue. They have such a funny lisp when they get into a rage!
There isn't a single day when our boys don't make us laugh or surprise us. And for this we are ready to forgive them everything, everything in general. We love them because CORELLA is a personality. A proud, self-sufficient, unique personality.
