There’s nothing as beautiful or as aggravating as the bond between two siblings. One day they’re besties and the next they’re frenemies – or at least that’s what it seems like. Though, family members can always find a way back to loving each other at the end of the day.

Wendy Albright, also known as @theparrotlady on TikTok, can vouch for that. Recently, she gave a peak into her life as a pet mom to Sweet Pea the Cockatoo and Thyme the Parrot. “Here’s one of the rare times they actually seemed to like each other (for about three seconds). Kids, I tell ya!” she said in the video post caption. And this quiet minute between this pair will give you all the feels.

Talk about a magical moment! If you’ve ever had the pleasure of having a sibling, then you know that getting on each other’s nerves can be a pastime. When it comes to this duo, Albright gave a bit of background on them explaining, “Thyme and Sweet Pea have always had a complicated relationship. Before I adopted Polly, Thyme was constantly trying to become SP’s BFF, and honestly, SP wasn’t always that nice to her.”

It can be tough adjusting to a newly adopted family member. Luckily, it seems like these two have somewhat worked out their differences. In the video, Thyme is leaning into Sweet Pea. While Sweet Pea looks like they’d rather have some me time and even lifted their leg to potentially push her away, they don’t. Instead, Sweet Pea lets Thyme rest beside them, and that’s progress. Ask any parent.

The kids will fight, and that’s a given in any sibling relationship. And these two have a history of sibling rivalry, but it looks like it’s recently downgraded to just annoying each other. Just check out this obvious teasing Sweet Pea is directing at Thyme in this video. It’s the “I’m not toughing you” sibling squabble every parent is familiar with, and you will laugh out loud at this cockatoo’s antics.

Mom better enjoy this current moment of peace between them while it lasts. They’re sure to find something to squawk about soon. Keep up with these two's playful high jinks by following @theparotlady’s page on TikTok.
