Iām not sure if this is normal or not - I canāt find much about it...
A few times a day, Milo makes his shrill little grumpy sound, fans his tail, and bites at his feet. He rolls around sometimes, biting at them and seeming obviously frustrated. Then within maybe 30 seconds he leaves them alone and takes off.
He has done it to his wings a couple times too, though it seems like when heās doing it to his wings it because one of the feathers is in the wrong place so he grumpily fixes that.
With everything the way it is, Iām reluctant to immediately rush to the vet.
Has anyone else seen this in their birds?
Iāve inspected his feet and compared against things Iāve read online and noticed that it seems the biggest issue is if itās constant, or if heās drawing blood or making sores on his feet.
I know that thereās no sores, no obvious problems, and he has no problem with me touching his feet. In fact, when heās out and about heās 100% fine. Also, he only does it maybe 3-5 times a day, at most.
The main time he does this is when heās in his cage playing - he gets really riled up and does it.
The only time Iāve seen him do something mildly similar out of his cage is when he goes to jump onto my finger and misses (usually because heās on a blanket on the couch and it moves as he goes to jump, so my finger isnāt where he expected,) then he bites my finger as if itās my fault he missed [emoji23]
Is this something I need to be worried about?
Thanks in advance x
