It's a shame, but Pete's just too tame for breeding, all he does is tell her "Pete's a pretty bird". "Hello Pete". etc....and seranade her with 'Jingle Bells"...his favorite tune....LOL..I think the kicker is when he tells her "night, night".....she turns in.....LOL

How funny!  I love cockatiels.  I had one many years ago and she was absolutely full of personality.  She would actually lay in my hand on her back and let me rub her tummy. 

Best of luck with breeding Shrek and Fiona.

That's cool. Do you still have Pete in the same cage? If so will Shrek and Fiona breed with him in there?

Pete's on a 'sabbatical' in the cage right beside them....temporary until we see how Shreky boy gets along....didn't want Pete getting any abuse, he's such a good guy...
