Hello, I have two Alexes. The male is 2 and a half years and the female is one year. Often, when the two are next to each other the male walks up and down and then walks right upto the female, bobs his head and puts his head under her beak while making a clicking noise. He will continously...

So, I recently got a green cheek conure, and now have also let out 4 parakeets from quarantine. My conure--Kikki--seems to be in love with a particular parakeet.
