 My male tiel has been in love with my brother ever since we brought him 
home! Everywhere my brother goes, the tiel follows him. If my brother's 
bedroom door is shut (and he is in there) the bird will sit in front of the 
door for hours staring at the door knob! BUT! ever since I finished school 
few months ago, I have had the birds with me most of time I'm home (tiel just 
jumped onto my head), so perhaps you're right! My conure also does something 
*strange* I can "pin-point" with him. He slowly bobs his head down and then 
jerks it up really fast and pin points. He likes (I think!) for me to do it 
along w/him and if I do it first, he'll join in (he stops if I don't "join 
in" when he initiates) 
Is this strange, or what?! Do you suppose, it's something similiar to what my 
tiel is doing? I really think my birds are *different*! I know other people 
with birds and they don't have half of the problems I have!
Oh by the way, we're buying a new nest box. The one we have is spacious (my 
father made it!) but I dunno' maybe a store bought one will be better. The 
cage is located on the house's second floor landing and the nest box was 
sitting on the bottom of the cage. I'm telling you...my birds are wierd, 
they're scared of their babies! I talked to a pet store -- they'll be more 
than happy to take the babies for free once they hatch. If my birds don't 
hiss and pick/peck at them and they feed them, I won't giv'em away -- that 
is, until they've matured!
ttyl,
