Cockatiel

Nymphicus hollandicus

Least Concern

The Cockatiel is a cockatoo of arid and semi-arid interior Australia. It uses a strong bill to crack seeds, nuts, fruit, and wood, nests in tree hollows, and often lives in noisy, social flocks or pairs. It is currently assessed as Least Concern, though healthy habitat and secure nesting trees remain important locally.
