Today I got them both and put them on their playgym. They had a few beak fights but nothing major, and mainly sat next to each other while sharing millet, and played on my keyboard. Later I had both of them perching on my index fingers just looking at me and they both started to preen my hair at the same time :wub: then would take turns preening each other. It was really cute. Boo does this sideways 'wiggle throat' thing to Pesto too, I guess she's trying to feed him. Maybe she fancies the little guy after all?? :wub: What do you guys think?

Deleted User	The 'wiggle throat' thing is definately a feeding behavior! I've seen it before. And it is adorable!!! I had a male/female pair who bonded to each other (unintentionally, and due to my ignorance), and the male exhibited this behavior all the time. And even though I didn't really want this behavior, it was adorable .. oh my goodness, just the loviest thing ever :wub:

I always thought Boo was sort of 'manly' :o I was a little bit confused because I've seen budgies feeding each other, but it's nothing like this side to side 'hula' throat :lol:

Now I think they are really serious about each other! Absence makes the heart grow fonder! ;)
