I've just been reading a bit on the internet that says Cockatiels like nuts. Is that right? I didn't think they could eat nuts, if so, which would be best. It said:-
A Cockatiel prefers nuts to fruits. Because of this, some nuts make ideal treats. They can crack hard nuts and you should encourage them to do so. You can give them whole nuts as they love to crack open the shell to extract the seed. Their beaks are specially adapted for this function which could also be a form of entertainment.
I'm wondering if they mean peanuts in shells.
