Cockatiels enter their nest hollow tail first, their tail being so long that they cannot turn around in the nest. Cockatiels do not make a screeching sound like many other parrots and can learn to 'speak'. Cockatiels can mimic a range of sounds, including other birds’ calls. A galatiel is a chick produced by a cockatiel and a galah mating with each other. Males are better than females at whistling and talking. Wild male cockatiels use these sounds to attract females.  The cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) is a member of its own branch of the cockatoo family endemic to Australia. They are prized as household pets and companion parrots throughout the world
