Honestly looks normal to me. That squawking I'm familiar with too. It'll all be a lot less stressful once Raiju has his full wings but they don't seem to be holding him back much.

All I see from that video is Phoenix being pushy and Raijū not being able to fly away and tell him enough.
Just what I see

Raiju ended up grabbing and doing the same to Phoenix today, and Phoenix was acting the same way Raiju did I guess this is just some weird back-and-forth thing between them

The dynamic between my boys is changing on an hourly basis. They take turns being the hyper one and annoying the other. Budgie life, lol!

...I'm here to learn, not to advise, but I have to say that the best part of that video clip is the pop-up "what do parrots find sexy? go to pbs.org to find out"
I know a lot of birds and even mammals will practice "mounting" with play partners regardless of sex. And adult same-sex pairings aren't uncommon for budgies, right?

I think that's right, I see lots of males being paired together but not females though...I'm here to learn, not to advise, but I have to say that the best part of that video clip is the pop-up "what do parrots find sexy? go to pbs.org to find out"

Females are more territorial & don't pair well with other females even if there is not a male around.
Female female bonds are not as common as male bond pairs.
Males are more of a whomever is available will do kind of mentality.

The grabbing thing is more like an attention getter that threatening. It's like the human hand on the shoulder - it gets attention. It's not an attack, it's not domination.
Mounting, or treading is common too, even in the younger budgies. Again it's not a threat or domination.
All I see in the video is normal budgie interactions. Leave them to it.
