Alfie has a similar behaviour when he gets hormonal/excited. He makes some clucking noises, puts his wings out in a similar way and will pace on the spot. He will then sometimes regurgitate for me, which I try not to encourage. However he doesn't make the breathy sounds. If your bird is only doing it every so often in certain circumstances (e.g only when she's interacting with you) and she seems excitable then I'd put it down to hormonal/seasonable/love bug behaviour. If she's still eating ok, playing as normal, pooping ok etc etc and doesn't exhibit this behaviour at any other time then again, I'd probably say hormonal/seasonable behaviours. However, it's important to note that none of us here are vets or experts, I'm just going by my own experience with my own bird and the video you shared.

Yes she is young, but my Amazon was the same age when she started as well. They seem to know when spring is regardless of where you live. Sounds like she’s excited by you. It’s ok if that’s the case..it’s just life with parrots!

Hey talon, she does it always when shes sees me. Other times she breathes normal. And do you think if it hormone for a year and half old fellow. Do you think she gets the hormone kick as she's just one year and four months. Anyways we dont have winter in the country I live.
