Eric (to be adopted with his friends Nate & Walter)

Walter, Nate and Eric are 3 bonded male Cockatiels of unknown age. They came to us when their owner passed away.<br/><br/>When this trio first joined PEARL, they were not interested in being handled, but they are curious birds who seem to enjoy being in the room with people. After a few weeks with their foster family, the boys (also lovinging knicknamed as Teil Team 3) are starting to get more comfortable. They are now used to hands in their cage for changing out food and water bowls as well as cleaning.<br/><br/>All are eating a great diet of pellets and chop. They enjoy seed sticks and millets as treats. They are eating well and their foster family is starting the process of getting them to take some millet from a hand through their cage to build trust. Teil Tream 3 make happy chirps when they are around the their foster family and Nate and Walter fall asleep when their foster dad plays the Yukulaili for them.<br/><br/>Walter is a White-face, Nate is grey and Eric has a lot of yellow on him. This trio are buddies and must be adopted together. <br/><br/>About the species: Cockatiels (Nymphicus hollandicus) are the smallest members of the cockatoo family and are among the world's most popular companion parrots. Native to the grasslands, scrublands, and open woodlands of Australia, they are recognized by their slender crest, long tail, and expressive personalities. While wild cockatiels are primarily gray with yellow faces and orange cheek patches, decades of responsible aviculture have produced a variety of beautiful color mutations commonly seen in companion birds.<br/><br/>Known for their gentle, affectionate nature, companion cockatiels often enjoy spending time with their people and may whistle, chirp, or learn to mimic simple sounds and tunes. Although they are generally quieter than many larger parrot species, they are active, social birds that benefit from daily interaction, enrichment, and opportunities to exercise both physically and mentally. Like all cockatoos, cockatiels produce a fine feather dust (powder down) that helps maintain their plumage, so regular cleaning, good air circulation, and HEPA air purifiers can be beneficial in the home.<br/><br/>With proper care, companion cockatiels commonly live 15–25 years, with some living even longer, making them a meaningful long-term commitment. <br/><br/>Because of their intelligence, activity level, and strong social nature, they benefit from daily interaction, mental stimulation, and opportunities for exercise both inside and outside their enclosure. To promote healthy movement and comfort, PEARL requires adopters to provide a cage that is at least 1.5 times the bird's adult wingspan in width, depth, and height, with larger enclosures always encouraged. This standard is based on the bird's ability to comfortably extend and flap its wings while inside the cage. <br/><br/>Interested in Adopting? Visit PEARL's website to complete an adoption application and register for a Standards of Care class. After completing the class, a PEARL Adoption Counselor will meet with you to learn more about your home and help identify the companion parrot or parrots that may be a good fit for you. Adoption fees vary by species, and adopters are required to provide a PEARL-approved cage appropriate* for the parrot or parrots they adopt.<br/><br/>*NOTE: Our foster families understand the habitat needs of the PEARL parrots in their care, and some parrots may have individual housing considerations beyond the standard cage requirements. PLEASE REFRAIN FROM PURCHASING A CAGE BEFORE MEETING WITH A PEARL ADOPTION COUNSELOR. Your counselor will help you select an appropriate cage for the parrot or parrots you hope to welcome into your home.
