Hey guys! I’ve just put together for you a list of foods Cockatiels can and can’t eat. Included is the cockatiel food list you can quickly search up on your phone or pc and also a pdf food chart that you can print out and perhaps put on your fridge.
Both the searchable list and printable chart are in alphabetical order.
If you are like me, you are quite likely super busy! Of course, sometimes you need an article about the best foods for a cockatiel or you need to know how often to give your bird fresh food or the percentage of pellets and seed mix to use, but this post is not that.
This article is a simple list of what foods cockatiels can and can’t have. Not a definitive list and not a diet recommendation for your bird. But simply, here’s what you cockatiel can and can’t eat in a simple list form and printable chart for your fridge door.
