Well, it started since Friday just before bed time, she started doing the mating dance..

We had very nice whether, sunny and warm, I left them about an hour and a half more of playing time, my mistake, perhaps, I might contributed for it to happen again.

I started the 14 hour sleeping time, Saturday and Sunday I woke them at 7am, they spend around 10 hours awake before sleeping time again.

This time it came stronger, she does the mating dance more often, like every hour or less.

The male, does the same, whistle and do kind of open wings (mating dance), she's not interested in him.

About an hour ago, she flaw to my husband shoulder, and started the mating dance! ON his shoulder!

Just hearing his voice and she gets all excited!

I hope the weather will help me, it's snowing right now, so it's cloudy, darker

Everything is about the same, their cage setting, the amount of what they eat.

I'm clueless...

What else should I do??

IMO, just leave them along. Do they lay eggs that you are so worried about mating dance? (I still don't know what mating dance is)
My birds sleep long hours and after they wake up, some of them go mating. They don't lay eggs so far, so I don't care.

It takes a week or more for the longer nights to have an effect. So hang in there and in the meantime don't do anything that would encourage them to breed.

It's a good thing that she prefers your husband over your male cockatiel. She won't get any fertile eggs from flirting with him lol.
