    The beak rubbing to keep dry and clean is cute - I don't mind being a napkin - but then he goes too far and wants to nibble or chew my shirt.

    One of my babies likes rubbing their feet on different surfaces. Sometimes he just likes making noise or enjoy the different texture.

    I thought it was always to sharpen their beak but seems like I was wrong! Thanks for the info

    1. Birds are Mannered, don’t want to look a mess
    2. Sign of irritation or gesture of aggression
    3. They are hormone dragons 🐉 (I have called that behavior “tracing” it kinda seem like they’re tracing/measuring the space, drawing the line “everything contained within this line is mine”)

    • @BirdNerdSophie
      @BirdNerdSophie  3 місяці тому +1

      How much poop is there? If there’s a tiny bit, she will preen it off on her own! If there is more then I’d suggest a vet check up!

    Hi, I have been wanting to get planet pleasure toys for my canaries as they are at the moment not having any toys and rae chewing on anything. I am based in the UK and planet pleasure on the other hand isn't so the shipping cost average is £19 where do you normally get your planet pleasure yarn as I think your also based in the uk?

    hello. I have a concern about my parrot, in which he/she (im not sure yet) keeps bitting their own tongue and chipping and bitting on the wood in the cage i recently got them so im sure if this behavior is normal or maybe they are sick or irritated at something like an allergy i hope you can help if not maybe recommend me someone who might be able to? thanks regardless

    Hey - I have just been able to watch this vlog now! I've been so busy today popping into some shops to get food and clothing. After that I had to give my birds some time, So I had no time to watch this! I would be going to sleep soon so normally I would not watch a vlog before doing so since this though was short I couldn't help but watch it lol. I've been noticing my bird Patchy has been stepping up to get his reinforcement once he ate it on my hand he start biting my hand, I am not sure if it was because he wanted more treats that he was doing that but I did not want to give him a treat as he would think biting my hand is okay and he will get a reward for that. Can you give me any further info please? ( IMy other birds are slowly picking that up from patchy and doing the same thing ). I am not sure if it's something I should take up with my Avian vet. Xxx

    • @BirdNerdSophie
      @BirdNerdSophie  4 місяці тому

      You can train the duration behaviour by giving him the treat, counting one second after he has finished, then giving another, then counting two seconds, then another treat! 😊
