They are both SO beautiful! Silver is so funny, he popped his head from the basket like "hey, I'm right over here! What did I miss?" So funny. Your budgie is so playful and hyper. I sometimes want a budgie of my own.

Baruch, budgies are certainly different than cockatiels. Frankly, I prefer a little larger birds. I think Beck and Poppy will be my last. They do some funny dances though. No cockatiel can beat a budgie in a dance off.

Dianne, as always, your flock is adorable.

Thank you!
I really feel that I have more of a relationship with the cockatiels than with the budgie. Piper is really cute and LOVES to sing. But, one budgie is enough for me. It's a lovely mix with the three of them right now.

Here. I embedded it for you. Also, I was looking around your Youtube profile. I saw the video with Piper mating with Emma. He really loves her!

Yes. Emma really turns Piper on. And, she likes him too. One time Silver tried to climb on her back, but she just let out a big squawk and chased him away.

The mating video is very interesting...What shocked me is how they started mating so fast. How did you see it coming? I would never have guessed they would mate. It's interesting how birds act towards each other sometimes. Nevertheless they are both beautiful.

It probably took them a couple of months of foreplay before they actually mated. I started to notice that Piper was spending more time around Emma. Then, he started preening her head. I was SO jealous! I wanted to scritch her head, but she wouldn't let me.

Anyway, I thought the head preening and Piper having a crush on Emma was very cute. Probably a few weeks later they started mating. And, they were doing it over and over and over again! I never would have predicted it.

Then, Piper started chasing Emma away when she would come to my arm for seeds. He thought she was HIS cockatiel, not mine.

I've had them on long nights for a while now, and I don't see the mating very often. But, it occasionally still happens.

Fortunately, there haven't been any (infertile) eggs.

A Woody Allen joke: A man goes to his psychiatrist and says his brother thinks he is a chicken. The psychiatrist suggests he bring his brother in for a session. The man says, "I would, but I need the eggs."

They're so cute! The way to embed a video: while you're typing your reply, look at the row of buttons on top of the reply box. The very last one says video. Click that one, then paste the address between the tags that pop up.
