Hello!!
I have 3 adult cockatiels and a 9 month-old baby. I thought that the male was bonded with one of the females, as they were always together, preening and calling each other when they were too far. They even started matting (which I managed to stop because I have no intention for them to breed). The problem is, today is the second day I see the male mating with the other female. The original one bites them and, when they are done, the male mates with her too. Now, they all three go together everywhere, and I've seen the male trying to court both at the same time! I think this is not normal, what can I do?

You could try separating the birds into pairs?

@Birdbabe has lots of Tiels and may have better advice.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean
Bump is just a way of getting the thread back to the top of the page to get more views :). You can say anything but it's just the most common way folks do this.
