Expert Profile: Cynthia Kiesewetter

Expertise:  I prefer to answer cockatiel questions, but also have experience with Senegal parrots, African Grey parrots, and Indian Ringneck parakeets. I have over 20 years of experience with cockatiel breeding, handfeeding, genetics, and behavior. I can also advise on proper diet and health-related questions, but I will not diagnose illnesses.

Experience in the area
I have over 20 years experience with cockatiels. My knowledge spans from pet cockatiels to breeding, handfeeding and especially cockatiel genetics.

Organizations
I am the North American Cockatiel Society President and Genetics Consultant; I have also been involved with local parrot societies and was the National Cockatiel Society membership and band chairperson in the past.

Education/Credentials
I have attended many educational seminars by various bird experts and veterinarians.
