Really random question about Australians

[Roses Ablaze]

Something I've always wondered...do Australians keep cockatiels as pets? I mean, squirrels in America are cute and entertaining and all, but I have a hard time imagining anyone but the most eccentric actually owning one.

 

[STJ]

Well, I'm an Australian, and yes, some of us do keep Cockatiels, though I don't own one myself

by Cockatiels, you mean the little yellow birds which sorta look like Cookatoos, right?

 

[Archaic]

Ironic that you should ask this question on Australia Day.

Yes, some people keep them. Not many, but more than you might think.

I used to know a lady that kept a few of them. I dunno what happened to 'em though.
