Native to Australia, cockatiels are one of the most well-renowned and beloved birds in the animal kingdom. This is due mainly to the fact that they are adorable little derps, with some of the most recognizable plumage out there, as they often look uncannily like Pikachu, of the incredibly famous Pokemon franchise.
But it's not just how adorable they look, but how adorable they act that has made them a staple of the bird lovers community! These feathery friends have quite the sunny disposition, constantly singing and playing, in some of the most adorable ways, occasionally looking over at you when they're delighted with their own reflection and giving you a big old derpy smile that hits you right in the feels.
Cockatiels happen to be very smart, to a degree. It looks like this little guy has learned how to play dead, and is busy showing off to everyone, as he should, cuz look at those acting skills. He's also so chuffed with his skills that he cant help but give us an adorable little smile!
Cockatiels are very social birbs who love to spend mealtimes together and discuss the intricacies of life, such as the seed shortages in Seattle, the wisdom of greek philosophers, why they resemble Pikachu, and more.
