Piper still loves Emma.
Emma definitely prefers Piper to Silver.
Poor Silver is showing Emma his heartwings and calling to her. However, when Piper and Silver are both near her, she shoves Silver away with an open beak.
I would have thought that having a male cockatiel would be nice for her.
Go figure!
On the other hand, Piper likes Silver pretty well too. He spends a lot of time singing to him and getting in his face. Silver tolerates all this moderately, then shoos Piper off with an open beak.

You have done so well with Emma. She is lucky that you were the one to bring her home. I wonder what happened to her brother.
I had Pearls wings clipped yesterday. I haven't spent much time with her yet because my granddaughter spent the night. However, already the little I have spent with her, she is readily getting up on my finger. My hope is to get her trained and when her wings grow back she will not become so independent. She will learn that she must step up and be returned to the cage. The end result will be that she can actually be out of her cage more often. I feel bad because they always are asking to get out. They don't play with toys so I imagine they get pretty bored being in the cage.
When I went to the pet store they had brand new babies that are not even up for sale yet. One white face Pearl, two white face pies and a unique Pearl that was white and yellow all over his/her body, instead of the normal white and grey. It didn't have the orange cheeks. Very pretty birds. They also had baby green cheeks. Truth be told I would have preferred having a green cheek but they are more expensive and I couldnt justify the difference in cost. Besides Sweetie was given to me and Pearl was very reasonable coming from a hobby breeder rather than the pet store.

Do you mean green cheek conures? I hear they are great birds.
'tis the season for baby birds! There were two new cockatiels at my pet store a couple of weeks ago as well as a new crop baby budgies. I had to remind myself that I have enough birds.

Oh yes, I too have too have to remind myself "no more". I took my granddaughter to see a friends puppies. They would be so easy to bring home.
I did mean green cheek conures but I have heard them referred to as green cheeks parakeets as well. Something to do with them having a long tail making them qualify as parakeets. Don't conures usually have short tails? I think I will go and google that.
