Hi everyone! after looking at forum posts anonymously I figured it was a good time to make an account and ask some questions.
Anyways, my question is about some behaviors/noises my green cheek conure does that I can't find any info about at all.
Kiwi is about two years old, I haven't had them sexed yet so I just call her she lol, and she is very affectionate and loves to be on my shoulder. She is a bit wary of people initially but warms up to them rather quickly. Whenever my boyfriend comes over she prefers him over me and this is where the weird behavior comes in. She gets under his chin, or close to his neck and makes a weird noise she usually never makes. It is like a low grinding chirp, and lowers her head(sometimes bobbing), sometimes fluttering her wings a little. She usually does it to my boyfriend and did it once to me recently.
Second, is when she's just resting on my chest or shoulder and I am singing or listening to music, she just shrieks loudly. Especially when I'm singing, she doesn't seem to get violent or aggressive as I'm still able to pet her, but she puffs up a little as well, I just think she's screaming cause she's excited from the music and singing but I could be wrong.
Finally, my bird often puffs up more around the neck and "dances" from left to right, sometimes when listening to music, sometimes when we approach the cage, sometimes when she sees new people. I know what the bobbing up and down means, but I haven't seen anything about them moving side to side.
Sorry about the long post, she's my first serious bird, as I've only ever had mostly caged budgies and I just want to make sure she's happy.
Thank you!!
Lydia
