I was just wondering...rather than going home and trying to mesure this myself...does anyone know what the average wingspan of a tiel is?

BIG!!!

If i had to guess i would say ....

Ok, well i just got a photo of Bailee flying, with his wings spread. I made it so it was approx. life size, and then i measured one wing. It was about 18-20cm (7-8 inches). SO, if that's at all accurate you would say the total wingspan is about 40cm, which i reckon would be about right, because i was amazed by this photo of Bailee:

I was just thinking they have a pretty large wingspan for being not so big birds. I guess it would be around 15-20inches...

Wingspan

I would say about 18-20 cm wingspan it depends on the age of your bird
