Preparing for My Senior Cockatiel

Cockatiels are amazing birds! With an average lifespan of 20 to more than 30 years, cockatiels are life investments, offering some of the most rewarding relationships you will ever know.

In this guidebook and sequel to Preparing for My First Cockatiel, author Laurel A. Rockefeller explores how to enhance your birds’ lives so they live well beyond the “senior bird” threshold of 10 years old. Diet is covered extensively, along with how to improve your birds’ home environments for the challenges older birds face.

As with Preparing for My First Cockatiel, Senior Cockatiel is filled with personal stories and science, exploring what a cockatiel is and how to live a long and very happy life with your best friend.

It includes detailed nutritional data on popular bird food brands, including ZuPreem, RoudyBush, and LaFeber's Nutri-Berries.
