Haha aww! Yes they can be jealous little creatures!!! If I am scratching Aero, Cupid will come over and get jealous if I don't start giving him some head scratches too, he will bite Aero and sometimes me I have to pretty much always give them headscratches at the same time to avoid conflict.

 

:tiel5:

Haha. XD Luckly the cat had enough cuddles for one day and wandered out of the room. So I could take nameless out of the cage.

It was at that point that he turned into a giant cuddlebug and started to style my hair. Preen my ears. Even started to preen my nose and eyes. Then investigated the computer.

I wish I could have gotten photos but my camera is charging.

Haha! Krissi sometimes tries to get into my nose and I'm just in awe like 'what are you thinking?' And then she tries to pull the moles off my neck.

 

My cockatiels get extremely jealous of one another. Especially my Luna...he thinks I am his and if anyone else tries to perch on "his" shoulder then we hear a bunch of skreeching and squabbling until the other bird decides my other shoulder is just as fit.

 

Aww ! Yes indeed , my Cockatiels are VERY jeleous when it comes to the tiny nitty gritty things. If I were to open a foster birds cage first for outside time , they get extremely hormonal and tempermental. They will make their way to the foster birds cage and boot the poor thing off it ! BUT If I open their cage first , all is well and everyone gets along. Therefor I need to take out my tiels first , before the other ones. And head scratches ? Dont even get me started!

 

Oh yessirree, they most certainly DO get jealous. Extremely jealous!

I've got one female cockatiel, Zoey, who sticks to me like glue ;-) and a male/female pair of budgies in a separate cage who of course are bonded to each other but who still like to get daily attention from me. If I even DARE begin to walk over to the budgies cage while Zoey is out she'll fly over there quicker than I can walk it (naturally) and she'll begin to chase 'em around from the outside of their cage and screech and squawk and scream at those poor lil' birdies with a mean ugly open-beak face. And don't even lemme try to do it while Zoey is inside HER cage. That's when she takes hold of a particular toy that has a larger than usual bell on it and begins to shake that sucker senseless....ring-a-ding-ding! ring-a-ding-ding!...all the while screachin' and screamin' away.

Sheesh! I NEVER had these types of problems, even with 4 kids

 

Oh my goodness, YES! My tiels get so jealous of one another, especially when they are getting scritches! They will either shove their little heads under my fingers or bite at the bird getting attention! And, if I try to do two at the same time I swear they still know they are not getting my undivided attention!

And a few love to preen me, which is sweet but they love to do my eyelashes and they aren't real careful - ouch!

 

My little boy is so independent that I don't think he would notice if I fell off the face or the earth. I love hearing the stories though. I giggled at everybody's.

 

Are you sure he/she is not stressed because of the presence of the cat?

 

Actually the pacing and what-not is a sign that he wants out of his cage. I don't think he cared too much about the cat being there.

 

heh, Funny stories guys!

I doubt he's stressed about the cats presence though. He'll pace around and squawk even when the cat isn't there in the room and he wants out. Which he does most of the time. His favorite place to hang out is on my shoulder, not that silly cage!
