Tiel Socialization

Yesterday, Abby and Briesy came over for a visit.  They lead a sheltered life and occasionally come over just to expose them to the flock mentality.  It's difficult to tell if they like it.  I think they do because they typically don't want to go home, at least not easily.  Abby and Brie hang out on the rope vines and observe the boys.

The boys, hang out on the Atom.  Even if there isn't a lot of social interaction, they seem to just love seeing each other and vying for position.

Bubbus advanced and started talking to the cute girls.  He chatted away but the girls remained aloof.  Katie is here too but she doesn't entertain the attentions of the guys either. 

Cockatiels have huge flocks in the wilds of Australia.  They aren't meant to be singles.  Having the chance to mingle and experience a group setting is good for them.
