Lol, sigh! Sometimes, they can be very dumb! πŸ˜‚ Maybe try putting him alone with only one female. The reason he might not be mating them is because there are two of them. If he likes one more than the other, try putting those two together and see what happens. Some are very picky on who they go with. I've had that now multiple times here with mine πŸ™„πŸ˜†

Ok haha! He is very eccentric! He likes Bubble more I think, but Squeak keeps asking him to mate her - I think she might need a male that actually likes her, then if we had two pairs one of the pairs could come indoors in the cage just for the Spring or something.

I know what you mean! I have a female (whiteface pearl) who adores one of my males, but he could care less about her. He seems to be very picky with who he chooses because he's chosen my lutino hen, my cinnamon pied hen, and my cinnamon pearl hen, but he won't go with either of my whiteface pearl hens. It's so weird! πŸ˜†. If you pair him with Bubble, hopefully something will happen. As for Squeak, you could get her another male and then put them in a cage together on their own so that they only know each other and don't see the other two until after they've raised a clutch. I had one female who wanted chicks so bad, but no male would go with her. I bought a new male and put those two together alone, and the rest is history. πŸ˜†

Okay! I'm not sure anyone else would like cockatiels in the house (though I wouldn't mind in the least) - Pika moved to the aviary because he was so noisy, but maybe if there were two they would be seeking less attention and be more focused on each other.
I think Pika would very much like chicks - he is constantly nest hunting and whenever you open the rabbit's hutch door he flies onto it and makes happy ribbiting and croaking noises.
