“Their new bed/enclosure makes use of nougat “log bricks” to give it a natural wooden look which is by far one of the best “beds” for the Brickheadz Pets so far – it’s way more visually engaging than regular bricks! The adult Cockatiel features a majestic crest on its head,... More which gives it a really unique, and very tall appearance, but otherwise follows the Brickheadz Bird design established by the Budgies.”
