Minne and bondo lutino cockatiels
Hello everyone.
I have two lutino cockatiels. I'm worried because they seem bored throughout the day. I play them music and give them toys and put them in the busiest room in the house. They're names are Minnie and Bondo. Bondo is older than Minnie and he's really calm and always relaxing; chilling out on the perch. Minnie is way more playful by nature. When I try to entertain them. Minnie responds. Bondo doesn't - at most he'll stretch his wings and jump off the perch to another one.

4 Cockatiels 2 males Chicken Little & Charlie, 2 Females Chiquita and Sweet pea. Yellow Sided Green Cheek Conure -Franklin and our now tame, rescued feral Pigeon - Belle.
Why do you think they're bored?

Unlike our conure, our tiels are quite low keyed. They are happy and healthy and don't play anything like our conure does. The most our tiels do is grab a ring with a bell on it and ring it a few times...I also hang raffia from their cage and they like to chew and shred it sometimes...but it's short lived through the day. They will go from perch to swing and swing to perch, they do a lot of stretching and showing off stretches and our female chirps and our male talks up a storm, they have healthy appetites and eat a good variety, they are in excellent feather and love to preen...so I know they're happy.

However, they DO NOT play like our conure who is all over his cage all day long, hanging from anything and everything by two feet, one foot, upside down, swinging, twisting, spinning etc. He's a character and our tiels look at him like he's crazy! LOLOL

Your tiels sound happy to me!
