Hi, I’m Keef
Keef is a beautiful cockatiel who is best suited to an aviary lifestyle. He has never been handled, and while it's possible he may become hand‑tame one day, this would require significant time, patience, and dedication-with no guarantees. For now, he'll thrive most as an aviary bird with plenty of space and the freedom to feel safe.
Keef hasn't lived with other cockatiels before, but as flock animals, many cockatiels enjoy companionship. If joining a home with existing birds, he'll need a very slow introduction-starting in a separate cage beside the others and integrating gradually at his own pace.
He arrived at the shelter quite worried, so a calm, quiet setup is essential. We recommend placing his cage in a peaceful area, covering part of it, and allowing him a few days to settle before attempting any interaction.
Keef enjoys apple and millet and requires a balanced diet of species‑appropriate pellets, vegetables, fruit, and seeds in moderation. A spacious cage with safe bar spacing is important to keep him secure.
Please note: we will need to see photos of your proposed cage setup prior to adoption.
Please note:
