Oh no! I guessed that Indiana was female just cause Peanut mounted her several times a week. Could she just be a weird male? She has bright orange cheeks, but she's a lutino...
We have a "pair" of male cockatiels house together (both dna males) that will "mate" up to several times a week. They like to make a squeaking noise when they are "busy". We have had company over several times when they have chosen to do this and imagine our non-bird company saying "What are they doing?, But I thought they were both males LOL! My friend has two female YN housed together that also will "mate" not as often as the cockatiels but still quite often.
When housed together many same sex pairs of birds will go through the motions whether for dominance or companionship I don't think it has been proven. In many other species the same sex mating behavior is more of a dominance issue than for any true companionship with the dominant one in the pair assuming the "male" role whether both are male or female.
