Here we have a Spunky the cockatiel and Steve the Lorikeet playing a little whistling game.
Story behind this video:
Someone asked in the comments how the owner taught these two birds this little "trick". Here is what the owner said in response.

I guess we didn't really teach them per se. We used to make a wolf-whistle sound every time our cockatoo would stretch her wings out and call her a sexy bird, Steve the Lorikeet eventually mimicked the whistle, Spunky the cockatiel doesn't like to be out-done with whistling sounds, he mimicked it too. Spunky bobs his head down a little while whistling (as cockatiels do), Steve noticed this and bobbed down further being a Lorikeet (they exhaggerate EVERYTHING)... Eventually we all got into a weird head-bobbing feedback loop while wolf whistling. After a few days of that, each time someone bent down to pick something up, or something fell, there'd be half a wolf whistle... and so on
I love how the lorikeet gets bored after a few minutes, so he slowly walks out of the camera, while still whistling, because he still wants to participate. Then few seconds later, he walks back to the cockatiel
