They do get more veges than anything else really. But i do try to give them as much of a varied diet as possible.

I never mentioned or assumed HOW MUCH fruit you give to your birds. I had said, " I don't know how much fruit you give the cockatiels, but I would limit their fruit intake to an occasional treat as well because it's just too high in sugar," because I don't know.

Or is this good behaviour i should encourage?
And for such small little birds they sure can bite hard! Much harder than my tiels! Thats definitly something that needs to be discouraged. It has only bitten us a handful of times, other than that he's really good and very tame and 'hand-able'

No, it doesn't mean anything is wrong. It just means Antari likes you and likes playing in your shirt. I know some lovebirds that like to sleep under their owners shirts. It's very cute.

Quarantine is IDEALLY 90 days, minimum being 30 days. After the quarantine period is done, then you can place Antari's cage by the other birds cage(s) and let them interact and talk to each other. You may be able to notice that they're either curious about each other, or sometimes a bird will pretty much try to attack the other through the cage bars. Birds getting along are always an iffy thing. One of the main things you need to watch when letting them out to play together is that a lovebird can do so much damage to a cockatiel. Some people start out by giving 5-10 minutes of supervised playtime together. If things go well, they extend the time. If things don't go well, they get separated and you try again the next day. But Antari will always need to be watched if he/she is out of the cage and by the cockatiels, as lovebirds are aggressive and cockatiels are generally not.
