A lot of male parrots and parakeets will bond with female humans. Same with female to male. Happens a lot with caged birds.

And the bird learned to whistle aha a match made in heaven.

This must be the tiniest and bravest bodyguard I've ever seen. Imagine having the courage to attack an animal about 200 times bigger than you.

I love how the spicy birb copied the boyfriend’s whistle and sung it to his person, like “Listen to this beautiful song I created just for you.” 😂

My uncle had a parrot who whould run down his tree to the door to greet him. He didn't like my aunt. 😂😂😂

The longer I whistle the longer I know he won't attack me😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

Those damn cockatiels are some of the smartest little shits ive ever seen. Back in the late 80s i went to a friend's place to play cards for the evening and someone there had one and you could whistle a little tune, it would come over to you and listen for a minute, then sing it back to you and bow his head for a couple head scratches....he was so smart and terribly cool and cute.

Thats so adorable her boyfriend was really trying to get the bird to like him. Good man right there!

[elcerlyc]

As a person who doesn't like changes I understand the little guy . Some of us need a little time to embrace someone new .

[ThngMonstress]

The bird is just showing him that he's her real boyfriend💜

My mom and dad had a cockatiel they adopted when he was just a baby. He talked and whistled up a storm until he got to be about 20 years old. Then he just went silent. One night when he was 23, they heard him in his cage going through his entire repertoire of words and songs. They got up to check on him and he was lying on the floor of his cage having a seizure. He must have had the equivalent of seeing his life flash before his eyes before he died. There are worse ways to go out than whistling the theme song to The Andy Griffith Show.

There! This man has his EQ sorted out. He understood the importance of alliance. He as observant and then put in the hard work on top. Good job, Sir!

"We've grown [closer] over time... a little bit" at least he's realistic lol

[damienvaughn]

He might not be attached to him like he is his mom, but that little whistle that sounded like him mimicking him at the end definitely shows he frown on him a little and that’s beyond precious

[janetmarshall]

This is one beautiful bird!! Her boyfriend will adore this little cutie!! I know that I do

[aphroditegoddess]

The bird is so cute and protective over his mom. I had a peach face love bird and he was always with me even came with me to school. It’s so cute

[bethanysmith]

She's got a keeper, he trying to win over her protective bird instead of trying to get her to get rid of him.

"he's singing the song of my people" 😂

Cockatiels are beautiful birds who normally bond with one person maybe two
