Oh, my! Silver is about five and a half months old. Over last weekend he started whistling. This morning, I saw his first heartwings!
My little boy is definitely growing up!
(For those of you who don't know, heartwings is when a cockatiel holds his wings out a bit from his body, often accompanied by singing and dancing. It is a male characteristic. If viewed from the back, the wings make a heart shape.)
Now, I see him chasing Emma around, heartwinging to her. This is the first real interest he has shown to Emma.

Silver was just chasing Emma all around the cage with his heartwings. She's not interested, and I feel bad for her.

Don't worry Diana! They will build a relationship, romantic or friendly eventually. You have to give them time to work through their social structure together. Silver is still very young, and Emma might not like his inexperience, but he will learn!
