Cockatiels and Kangkong (Water Spinach) Part 2

For a while some of our cockatiels will be here. Here there are six cockatiels. Two of them are around three years old, the other four are still less than a year old or more than a year old. Most of the young cockatiels here are chicks that hatch at our place.

In this video we just found out that our cockatiel has a pearl feather pattern, that the cockatiel is a female. Not a male cockatiel as we previously thought. Uniquely, this cockatiel can sing, like male cockatiels in general. This is a female cockatiel that can sing and make short whistles. Quite unique.

Kangkong is a plant that is a type of vegetable and is grown as food. According to several records, kangkong is often found in Asia. Around our place, kangkong is widely sold in markets, and here kangkong is usually used as daily food for people. It is delicious if eaten with warm rice and sambal. Several Chinese dishes also provide kangkong on their menu. Some livestock can also eat kangkong easily here. Many people deliberately cultivate kangkong for their livestock.

Most of the cockatiels around my city really like kangkong. Maybe this is because they have been used to eating this from generation to generation. I once gave vegetables that are currently expensive in our country (but cheap in America), namely kale, red cabbage, watercress, lettuce, and several others. But the cockatiels at my place are not as enthusiastic as they are when they devour kangkong. It's been that way a few times, and it's still like that. And that is an advantage, because we can give them what they like at a low cost.
