Weird begging behavior?

[TurquoiseMel]

So, my cinnamon baby does this thing where she crouches low on the perch stares directly at me, hangs her wings low and kinda flaps them all fidgety like and chirps sometimes a few sometimes constant chirping. She'll also sometimes bob her head at me really hard if she sees im looking at her.
This usually only happens when she's in her cage. It's her way of telling me she wants out I think. Her previous owner had mentioned she didn't like being caged.

Is this normal? How do I stop it if it's not?

Neither of my birds really like being in their cage. I've made it as fun as I possibly can full of toys but whenevr they're in they just wanna be out. If im in the room n they're caged it seems like they just spend all they're time posted up at the cage front begging n screaming to be let out.

Loqui has started attacking bars sometimes and already knows how to unlock the cage. I have to tie up the door now so that they don't escape while I'mgone.

I've been trying to give them more in cage time since tthey were pretty much free birds in my room for a while but now theyre just being brats I've created little monsters. The only time they're quiet or content in the cage is if theyre sleeping or eating -______-

Yes, the begging is normal. A lot of birds do it no matter their age. Pete does it all the time and he's 29. Rowdy does it, too, when she wants attention.

They will eventually get used to more cage time and start playing with their toys. It's important for birds to do that since we can't play with them 12 hours a day. And sometimes we need to leave for get togethers with family or friends, or other obligations.

They are wanting your attention when they crouch and flap their wings. They are saying hello, take me out, I want to be with you, completely normal. Here is what you can do about cage time. You need to take them back to a training stage. Cage time for 1 hour, out time for 1/2 hour. You can really set your own schedule with this, but don't cage for to long of periods at a time. If you are consistent in doing this, they will both start to enjoy time in the cage as well as out of the cage and then you can increase cage time. When they scream while in the cage do not acknowledge them. Pick up a heavy book, drop it on the floor. If they are quiet for 2 minutes, give them a treat for being quiet and then let them out for about 1/2 hour. Repeat this until they get the idea that if they are quiet they get to come out for more play time. You need to remember that birds that have always been free to roam take more time to recondition. This problem can be easily solved with a little patients and training. Hope this helps.

My little GCC LOVES being on my boyfriend. He'll do that exact behavior whenever he sees him. As far as I know, it's completely normal, and it's just the bird saying they want to be near you.
