Splendid Parakeet Language

[New Splendid Mom]

I have a new female splendid parakeet, Lutino. I was told she is about 1.5 years. She us very sweet This is our first week together.

She does chirp frequently and when I approach the cage she chirps more. At first I took this to be happily interacting with me when I blew her kisses.

Some times she will lift her wings slightly and raise her backend. I am not sure if all this is fear, aggression, defense, happy ... I would love to learn more about her language.

When my female budgies lift their wings and raise their backend it usually means they want to mate. Maybe she's going through puberty and is hormonal. The age of 1.5 years is about right for a small parrot.

Or, maybe she's just generally excited- in a good way. Wanting to mate is a form of excitement, so maybe the posture can indicate other kinds of excitement in a female bird.
