Grinding the beak is a behavior that helps them relax and is often seen when they are in a calm and comfortable state. Therefore, these behaviors suggest that the cockatiel is relaxed.

Explanation
The given answer is correct because the close proximity of the pelvic bones in a cockatiel indicates that it is male. In females, the pelvic bones are farther apart to accommodate egg laying. Additionally, male cockatiels typically have more vibrant and intense colored feathers compared to females. Therefore, the combination of close pelvic bones and intense feather coloration confirms that the cockatiel is male.

Correct Answer
E. Dairy and Milk

Explanation
Cockatiels cannot eat dairy and milk because they are lactose intolerant. Their bodies do not produce enough lactase, the enzyme needed to break down lactose, which is the sugar found in milk and dairy products. Feeding them dairy can lead to digestive issues such as diarrhea, gas, and bloating. It is important to provide cockatiels with a balanced diet that consists of fruits, vegetables, grains, and specially formulated bird food to ensure their nutritional needs are met.

Feeding the bird chocolate is not recommended, as it can be harmful to their health.
