Why do my two parakeets sit and stare at one another?

In many animals, sitting and staring at each other can be part of aggression play, or sizing each other up. It can be a prelude to a fight for dominance. Even amongst humans it is seen as vaguely hostile or unsettling behaviour.
They either like each other well enough or they're trying to figure out if they like each other.
active signs of liking each other are preening, picking at each other, or singing in unison and bobbing their heads.
active signs of disliking each other are occupying opposite ends of the cage, avoiding each other, NOT looking at each other, and, if forced to be in the same space, actively fighting.
parakeets are social animals, and so unless under environmental stress (IE you are not feeding them enough or they don't have adequate space) they should get along well.

This is a good sign and shows you that the two birds like each other. No need to worry unless they start to fight all the time.
That means they're getting along. :)
