Hi :)
Once or twice a day, when I have my birdie girl out of her cage, she will get on my shoulder and then start walking around my head quite snuggly and make strange gurgling/tooting noices, I think she might also flick her wings little, and she walks over my chest and places herself upside down there on my chest. She can do a full round like this and it starts to smell like honey/perfume.
She does this when she seems a bit on the feisty side. Often it is followed by nibbling a bit to hard on ear/face/hands.
Sometimes she just ends it by sitting very tight with her body against the side of my head.

I don't really like it cos it makes me nervous and I feel I need to divert her quickly before she gets to "intense".

Any idea what this is?? Is it some kind of dominance thing? Bonding thing? I'll try to record it next time but honestly I avoid moving to much when she does it.:confused:

Obviously (to me,at least) Tutti LIKES you! :D That is an Amazon's way of saying " Hi Baby! I love you! gimme loveys!!" And the smell you are experiencing is the aroma of an Amazon...quite intoxicating LOL.

Sounds to me that you have a very bonded little girl,relish in the acceptance!
Nothing quite beats a 'zons' love of their parront in my book.

Yep, that 'smell' is the odor of a happy and contented Amazon. Only released when they are in a good mood. The sounds and movements are unique to each 'zon, but in general that coincides with the odor - a happy bird looking to play and hang out. I'd get a little more familiar with Tutti before I would allow such close proximity to my face, but you are on the way to having a bonded parrot!
 
1. It's mating season for amazons. So their personalities tend to be "a tad inconsistent."

2. We call that "Amazon perfume." It means your bird is happy to see you.

3. It's just a normal bonding thing.
 
The Aroma of Amazon!

If I recall correctly, this dear girl came to you with easy and want when you visited the prior owner(s).

Very sorry to tell you this, but it appears that you are in the process of becoming Owned By An Amazon!!! Welcome to the family! :D
