Cockatiel For Sale In Victoria

The price of a cockatiel at Victorian Bird Company ranges from $99. The difference in price is based on how the bird has been raised and handled.

Fledgling Cockatiel – From $99

A fledgling cockatiel is raised by its parents and has recently left the nest. These birds live in an aviary and are already flying. While they can learn to talk, they are difficult to train unless handled by someone with experience.

Handled Baby Cockatiel – From $199

Handled babies are fed by their parents, but in the weeks before fledging, they receive regular human handling. This includes short handling sessions several times a day. After fledging, the bird is brought indoors and receives additional attention. Ongoing handling is usually required to maintain friendliness.

Hand-Reared Baby Cockatiel – From $299

A hand-reared baby cockatiel is raised by humans from a very young age. This option is ideal for those seeking a companion bird that enjoys close interaction, cuddles, and bonding.

A friendly, confident hand-reared cockatiel is the result of 6–8 weeks of dedicated care. Hand-rearing involves specialised formula feeds multiple times per day, including early mornings and late nights. Each feed must be prepared to the correct temperature and consistency.

Beyond feeding, daily handling and interaction are essential so the bird grows up trusting people. As the chick develops, it is gradually weaned onto solid foods, encouraged to perch, and supported through each developmental stage.

By the time a hand-reared cockatiel is ready for a new home, it has already been nurtured, socialised, and guided through its most important early stages. This level of care explains the value of a hand-reared bird and why they are well suited to family environments.

Seasonal availability can affect pricing. During off-breeding seasons, baby cockatiels may be limited, which can result in higher prices. Contact your nearest store for current availability.
