Some content creators never says the cockatiels are destructive
Before i bought my son i was watching this one cockatiel content creator and she was always making videos about why you should a cockatiel but she never mentioned that they were destructive. I watched some other videos like "pros and cons having a cockatiel" and unfortunately they never mentioned either. They just said they "likes the chewing"
And in this sub some people sharing their birds and says theyre perfect and calm but most of them are new, baby cockatiels. They didnt even adapt the house, my son was "perfect and calm" too but then he grew up and said "nah i aint chewing this toy, IM GONNA EAT THE WALL" and he ate a lot of things including the wall too.
So yes cockatiels are perfect and i love my son and i would die for him but theyre so destructive.
