Default Does your tiel's do this????

I don't know what he was doing or why, but Chip sure seemed to be having fun. The first one is dark cause I was back farther so I could catch him on camera....the second is closer since the camera didn't bother him in the slightest..... you will have to excues the messed up colors and stuff for somereason photobucket really messes up the quality..........






I would really love to hear your guys' opinions or feedback.


There hopefully those work.

I can't see the pics - the Photobucket link comes up but there's an error that says "Page not found."

So, I thought I posted a reply from work....

Syd does this in a big way (usually when the movie of the week is getting to the sappy part)..... much as he thinks that he is being quite the big man on campus, Tillie just ignores him when he starts strutting!!

Our Pied Tiel (buddy) does the same thing, only he turns his head twords his back while doing the bobbing.
He always does this when we are talking to him saying Pretty Buddy, Pretty Buddy...
He is the only one out of 8 tiels that do this head bobbing thingy...

Default Re: Does your tiel's do this????

I just found a site that explains a lot of behavor.. not sure if this is reason only trying to find info..... it says when swaying and bobing head and making noises means I am the dominant one in this household.... I not sure if that is the reason or not.... but thats one reason it says.. just a cockatiel showing dominance........I saved the link if you want it.... just sent me a email..... not sure if i can or should post here..... so will wait... if not its ok as well...... i learnt something new...... in reading a lot of this info...................... and there is a lot and yes there are difference reasons posted for everything

good luck in finding the answer to the bobbing

My cockatiel doesn't do that but my conure did alot when he was younger, mostly when he got excited. I can't get the sound at work, but it looks like he is dancing to me. I don't think it is anything to worry about though.
