We have had Dakota since Remy was a baby. And Dakota loved him when he was a baby. He would sit on him and kiss him and groom him. I would get a birdy bite if I tried to remove him from the baby. And Remy always the animal lover would sit and allow this birdie to walk on him and claim him as his own.
As Remy grew into a toddler he started putting stuff in the cage, little toys and stuff. This of course FREAKED Dakota out. He also would beat the cage saying hello. This really FREAKED him out. Remy also became louder and screamed and ran around when he found his legs. So Dakota found a general dislike for Remy as time went on. Very sad. And Remy very much wanted that relationship back.
Through the years Remy has grown and become even more of an animal lover. And now at newly 5 years of age he got a special treat! We had clipped Dakota's wings and he of course shows us how we offended him for a few days. But he has always let me pick him up and start my murmuring of sweet nothings for his wonderful forgiveness. Hee hee...
But not last night. He claimed someone that no one thought he would ever claim again! And it was like the years between babyhood and age 5 had never happened!

Very Sweet!
AWWW! That is so sweet. We have a cockatiel too but he won't let us touch him :O(
That is just wonderful that they have come together again. I enjoyed watching him dance. How cute! My oldest daughter has a parakeet and he adores her, but if Lindsay goes near him he gives her those little warning pecks. He does NOT like to have his wings clipped. I can hold him and he likes to sit on my shoulder and snuggle up in my hair. He has been with us for almost 7 years now.
awww, look at him with that bird! They look like little pals!
