Cockatiels in the wild

Hello all,

Just thinking yesterday how destructive cockatiels must be in the wild.  Do
they strip trees of bark and leaves?  A whole flock could really do some
damage.

Are they regarded as pests in the wild?

Regards

Hell yes they're pests in the wild.  In Australia they're poisoned
and shot when they become a problem.   Here we put them in
cages and heap lavish toys and food on them! :-)

Right on!  My cockatiel chews up cardboard boxes like a paper shredder.  He
does a great job too.  Makes me proud.
