So I've had my Female Cockatiel for about a year now, One thing that I've never really come to understand or find an answer for is: why does she bite at her wings when in an excited state? ( She does this most of the time when i let her out of the cage in the mornings )
She has never pulled any feathers out in a destructive manner and she doesn't seem to be trying to harm herself by doing this but it's still concerning.
When she does this she has both her wings in the air with her tail feathers spread while biting at her wings ( Not fully biting down hard but kinda like nipping at them ) After shes done doing this only for about 30 seconds she typically takes off and fly's around until landing to either doing it again or just to calm down after all that flying as normal.
