Aaaah!!! Other bird people!
I have parrotlets - currently sadly only one because he's an old widower now and I can't for the life of me find an equally old partner for him that doesn't have Polyoma.
But funnier bird problems to have:

1. No matter where I put his food, he will find a way to throw it to the floor where the dog can eat it. The two of them have now established a symbiosis where my picky-eater parrotlet throws the veggies to the floor so he can get to his treats,and the dog hovers up all the food he's not supposed to have.

2. I usually lay down paper towels underneath his favourite spot on his bird tree, so I don't have to clean the floor as much. Guess what is the very first thing he shreds when he flies to his tree.

3. Anytime my other parrotlet sat on my head, she would walk to the back of my head until she could barely stand. When I started to turn my head as if looking down, so she doesn't fall off, she'd repeat the whole process. What a fun little game of "lets make the human walk around with their chin on their chest" she has created!

OMG, that’s so cute! Mochi (my cockatiel) loves to fling his food as well to my cats, but they don’t eat the veggies ha. Idk what his problem is too but sometimes he has yawn attacks where he just repeatedly yawns without stopping for 2-5 mins. I searched it up and I think it’s some kind of way to relax a sore throat or something. And omg he hops, I love it when he hops and sings it’s just so cute. His sleeping cage is also in my room and he hangs with me after school but whenever I’m changing near him he cat-calls me and honestly it creeped me out at first but I’ve just gotten so used to being cat-called at this point lol. 🙈

We have a really mean cockatiel, he doesn’t like anything or anyone, he hates water, won’t let anyone touch him, and pecks me whenever I try to give him food or water. He also barely eats any bird food and just eats millet

@_Ederle_ omg I’m so sorry! Have you left millet in his cage? If you have I don’t recommend that so all he can resort to is bird food. I would recommend just leaving your hand in the cage with millet for five minutes a day, even if he doesn’t come to it! Soon enough he should learn your hand is not a predator and instead some food giving angel! Remember to only give him millet as a treat. And a quick question, how old is he? You can message me privately if you wanna talk more about him, I love talking about birds! Anywho, good luck, I wish you the best!

He has millet in his cage most of the time. He also used to belong to my sister, but it was getting really dusty in her room and she has bad allergies so he was moved into our living room. We’ve had him somewhere between 3-5 years and he still hates everyone. ):
My sister used to try to give him millet from her hand and teach him that we are safe, but it never worked. Everyone in my family has tried to make him like us, and it’s never worked. We’ve pretty much all given up. He only likes millet, music, and some toys, so we just let him do his thing.

@_Ederle_ i can somewhat relate. I have 2 parakeets and my baby, Mochi (he’s a cockatiel). My 2 parakeets genuinely just don’t care for people, they step up and all but don’t like to hang around on shoulders or be carried around. They usually sing to each other and seem to be living a pretty happy life, they’re best friends. I’ve tried to train them a few times but have given up, and at this time I’m fine with watching them just be parakeets, they seem to enjoy it best and I think it’s the best thing for them.
