Cockatiels are endemic to Australia where they are found largely in arid or semi-arid country, but always near water.  Largely nomadic, the species will move to where food and water is available.  They are typically seen in pairs or small flocks.  Sometimes hundreds will flock around a single body of water.  To farmers dismay, they often eat cultivated crops.
