I have always wanted to see cockatiels in the wild! We have pigeons here, but I could never imagin cockatiels as a main bird :)

I saw loads flying free in Australia while I was there also budgies in the wild...
truly amazing it was.... the groups looked as if they were hundreds in a flock...
I use to wake in the mornings to the wild tiels in the trees singing etc. was good to wake up too.

When I went to Australia in 1997 I didn't know about cockatiels' existence, and very little about other birds: only thought of them as "parrots"... it's a big regret of mine.
I remember walking just outside Alice Spring and seeing these incredible colourful birds in huge flocks, it was absolutely mindblowing for someone like me, used to see birds only coming in grey and brownish colours.
My biggest dream is to win the lottery and move there forever, Australia is my Heaven.

Here are some more pictures on a now-defunct Portuguese site. https://web.archive.org/web/20081108083 ... tureza.htm

That's the friendliest version I could find on archive.org. There was a later version of the page that had additional pictures, but those links are all broken boo hoo.
