Hey,
I have been searching the internet for some specific behaviour but not finding any particular answers.
So I recently adopted a conure from a loving family. They didnāt have it sexed and believed it a female, but my partner believe it a male. Mainly going by no eggs were laid over 6 years.
He has instantly bonded to me and follows me round the house, heās really sweet and a little bit cheeky!
When I sit down for the evening he likes to come up to my neck, and he sort of scratches/digs into me. He will gently flap his wings once or twice every now and then. And all the while he will be quacking or making little purring noises. He will be preening my hair and my neck.
Now I want to believe this is cuddles, but my partner says it should stop as itās nesting behaviour. He doesnāt seem to cuddle any other way. Heās content just being on my shoulder or near me and has spent a little time with my partner but itās clear he is bonded to me stronger.
Should I stop him from snuggling into my neck like this?
