संक्षेप में

  • Flying and climbing may decrease; lower and vary the perches.

  • Regular weighing becomes even more important.
  • Protect them from drafts and sudden temperature changes.
  • Veterinary check-ups are usually recommended more often.

Cockatiels are considered seniors from about 13 years of age. Many are still social and curious, but their strength and habits may change. The goal is to adapt the cage to these changes and notice problems early.

What is happening in this stage?

  • Flight time and strength may decrease.
  • Sleep and rest may increase.
  • Moults can take longer.
  • Balance and grip on perches may weaken, and eyesight may change.

What should you do differently?

  • Cage layout: Lower the perches; add perches of different thickness and softer textures; provide a resting platform close to the floor.
  • Access: Move food and water dishes near their favorite perches.
  • Setting: A calm spot away from drafts at a steady temperature, with a dim light at night.
  • Interaction: Short, calm and regular time together.
  • Diet: Keep the diet varied and discuss any changes with your veterinarian.

What should you monitor?

  • Weight (weekly weighing)
  • Appetite and droppings
  • Balance, falling off perches
  • Feathers, beak, nails and eyes

Expected behavior

More rest, shorter flights and calmer days are natural parts of ageing. It helps to note any new change.

Reminders

  • Check-ups as often as your veterinarian recommends (usually more often)
  • Weekly weighing
  • Beak and nail checks
