I have a 4 month old eckie and I’ve so far have had fun for a little over 2 weeks. He has seemed to start opening up and showing behaviors that seem a bit weird? For one this morning he was acting like he just went nuts. Flapping wings preening fast, and darting his head. I assumed he was bored...

My conure is really affectionate when he wants to be, I never try to pet him when he's telling me he doesn't want it but he usually does like to be pet. I can pick him up with my whole hand and hold him like that and pet his head and he will purr like a cat, he'll bury himself in my hair and is...
