Aww Juniper and Sparrow!

I have long suspected Juniper used to be housed with a tiel. Or at least spent a great deal of time with one. She sings and warbles like a giant cockatiel. She also responds to them on youtube and when at the bird store she returns cockatiel contact calls.

Sparrow is always looking to play with either Kokomo or Juniper, but Kokomo runs him off and Juniper ignores him or snaps at him.

Today both were out to play on the table while we were eating breakfast and Juniper comes over and starts feeding Sparrow! I nearly fell out of my chair! Juniper is very much a queen and madam, so this was truly shocking in a few ways. I can see the confusion in Sparrow's eyes but he goes with it. This leads to lots of preening, both just went to town preening each other. I mean, Juniper normally hates him let alone lower herself to PREEN him.

I spent a good 20 minutes with them just staring and awwwwing and LOLing at them. So are so freakin' adorable I can hardly stand it. They are now happily perched on a play gym cuddling and preening. Lots of beak grinding and sweet cheeps and gentle honks.

Did hell freeze over?

It's nice when the kids can get along.

Awwwwwww!!!
Hell freezes over a lot when you have birds.

Must be global warming! So where are the pictures?????

Pictures

I have pics on my phone, but I can browse on my phone. Hmmm....wonder where I put my camera....

LOL! Funny you should post this just now... A couple of hours ago, I was trying to get vid of Posei trying to do the nasty with lil Jay! He was grabbing onto her tail and holding on tight while whe was running, it was pretty funny! She's been sending mixed signals though, the little flirt. She'll be preening on him and trying to feed him.... In every way saying, "come on big fella!" then when he does, she takes off.

I'm supervising their play pretty close though... Ever since I heard about that Galatiel, I've decided all bets are off! The last thing I need are Peachfaced Conures! (or would they be Greencheeked Lovebirds?) lol!

Well....there are peach front conures- I want one. Bad.

Aww how sweet!

Awwwws

Hey, congratulations! I love happy birds of different species together
Today Chico(female tiel) and Blueberra(female budgie) eat from one container and non of them didn't try to bully another one. I loved it!
