iv got the wierdest birds in the world

[birdman5000]

i have a large cage with several budgies and tiels living in harmony, i call them my flock

today i heard a wierd "chirping" comming from the front room, when i looked around everything was calm and fine but when i looked into the flocks cage, i saw a budgie (that i previously thought was a female) mounting and attempting to copulate with one of my tiels!, and the tiel was bent over as if she was trying to make it easier for the budgie. this budgie has a lavander-ish cere and its hard to tell if it is a male or female. i believe it is female cuz a few months ago it had paired up with a known male and they began to nest. this budgie in question i named calamity. calamity was in the nestbox 24/7 chipping at the floor making a nest hallow, and her mate spark was going in and feeding her, but they never produced any eggs so i put them in with the flock.

now im puzzled as to why she was attempting to mate with a female cockatiel? and this isnt the first time something like this has happened, another member of the flock is an english budgie named andre. he has been seen, several times, courting feeding and attempting to mate with another female tiel named speckles, there was also a lovebird who was very attached to a female budgie, but i separated the luvbird cuz when the budgie it loved died, it became aggressive and began hacking everyone elses toes.

so can anyone tell me what is going on?

Sounds like bird love!

Sounds like an orgy to me. Soooo, if they mated and had little ones what would they be? Cockakeet? Paratiel? Hey, your one and only could be worth a million bucks. Stranger things have happened!

in my case, i have two males and two female moluccan cockatoo... and its weird to see that this 1 male have two female.. and even mating both.. the trio just ignore the other male... they are all adult just dont know why they opt to choose the 1 male.... im observing their nesting behaviour right now.
