After living with each other for a year, Opal and Berry are becoming friends!

So, Berry (my cockatiel) was introduced to Opal and Pearl (my budgies), in October 2017. Opal and Pearl, although occasionally interacting, really show very little interest in each other (despite being male and female respectively). In recent months, Opal has begun to show a lot of interest in Berry, however she has straight up rejected him on many occasions. He chased her around the room, tried everything to impress her, and she just wasn't having it!

Then, about a week ago, I saw them feeding each other, and I was shocked! They then did it again yesterday! The budgies do occasionally do this too, but I am so pleased to see my birds getting along after so long. They have tolerated each other, have shared a cage for a very long time, but they really weren't friends at all! Below is a little pic of the interaction!

Any thoughts lol? Does anyone have two different species who do these cute things?
