Tierney is my girl parakeet. She's absolutely been infatuated with Cricket since I brought him home. She's always been standoffish so I was surprised at her interest in Cricket. She would hang on the bars of her cage to get as close to Cricket as she could (when he was sitting on me).

Last night I had both parakeets on their playgym with some millet while Cricket was on my shoulder. Tierney kept throwing pieces of millet at Cricket... almost flirting with him wub.gif

Tonight I had put Cricket in for the night but he's been making lots of noise and started calling for me to get him out of his cage so I put him on top of his playgym.

Tierney was flying around trying to decide whether she had enough courage to land next to Cricket (which she didn't) so I picked Cricket up (who was still screaming even though I took him out of his cage) and put him on top of the parakeet cage to see what would happen.

Tierney immediately tried to welcome Cricket by walking up to him but he leaned towards her with his beak open in an obvious aggressive behavior. She tried again and he did the same thing. So I put him back on his playgym.

Poor Tierney is devestated sad.gif

Now they're all screaming! I guess spring fever has hit my household and I thought it was going to pass me up!!

Oh poor baby, being shunned by her love. I guess she will have to learn how to deal with a broken heart.

awww poor Tierney sad.gif

Yogi is going through the same here unfortunately. He tried to get close to my little tiel Raven a few times. Although Raven is little, he has a big personality and did the open beak and little hiss.

Yogi opened his beak after a few Raven hisses, and now they each own a shoulder. No sharing here sad.gif

At least now they are willing to share me by staying on their chosen shoulder lol
