Dust?

[Talon]

I have heard that Cockatiels can be very dusty. Anyone have one or knows if this is true or not. I already have 3 parrots, 2 parakeets, not so sure I need more of a mess.

Yes a cockatiel will make as much dust as a grey.

One good thing is a cockatiel loves a bath. They will hold up their wings and dance all around with their wings high in the air to get as wet as they can.

If my two tirls see a spray bottle come out they get all excited.

hi penny,

yes is true they have lot of dust.

but i dont know somehow my CAG dust is like human dandurf but my tiel dust mostly like a waxy dander.

if u get one and u bring him to sunbathing u will see a 'lot' of dust coming out from them while preening.

i do shower him everyday and seems he likes it.he will stand on his perch nicely and close his eyes to enjoy the water come to him

but i dont think only with 1 small tiel u will have much problem.
