Marbel - Cockatiel Bird for Adoption in South Bend, Indiana

Marbel is one of three cockatiels that came in together.
They were an owner surrender to a local animal shelter because their owner was ill.
Marbel is a beautiful bird. We think this one may be a female as she is lighter in the facial area. But we are not sure.
Marbel will come to the cage to talk to us and is interested in attention.
She plays with toys, shreds and we are working on growing her interest in food such as fruits. She is on a seed diet.

The cockatiel, also known as the miniature cockatoo, is a small and friendly pet bird that hails from Australia. With their distinctive crest, vibrant plumage, and playful personalities, cockatiels are popular companion birds among pet owners. These social birds thrive on interaction and bonding with their human counterparts, displaying affection through chirps, whistles, and even mimicry. Cockatiels are highly intelligent creatures that require mental stimulation, a balanced diet, and a spacious cage for optimal well being.
