I had a bunch of free time last night so I decided to try some new things with my bird Puppy. He would insist on flying to his cage whenever I was holding him, so I took him to a diff room and it made a big difference. He became very cuddly. I let him sit on my knee for about 15 minutes until he started cleaning himself, then I started petting him and he fell asleep with his beak on my chest... I have wondered how gentle I need to be when petting because I don't want to pull feathers out... but I started rubbing him less gentle and closer to his skin almost like scratching and rubbing his muscles and he loved this.. especially where his jaw muscle is by his ears. After he fell asleep I fell asleep and then woke up with him nudging my hand. So I don't know if this was just random or if taking him out of hte room his cage is in made him more affectionate and calm.

Puppy, my bird, loves to hang upside down and do big circles with his head and sing... also likes biting me upside down ahaha.

Is my bird gay? Well he does that, but it's almost like more of an anxious thing than an affection thing. He also has been biting me more lately and hard.

Every once in a while my bird does something that baffles me. My bird insists on climbing this window I have.. it's about 3.5 feet tall and 2 feet wide.. it has vertical blinds on it which are up. So on the right side the two strings are hanging down that pulls the blinds up and down. Well I'm looking over at my bird wondering why he likes to climb the window edges... and I see him clinging upside down on to the freaking two strings that pull the blinds up and down.. I keep watching.. and he slides down the string with just his feet!!!! One foot on each string!!! He slid down half way really fast, then down a little more.. all of this while hanging upside down.. now he goes up and does it again!? How did he learn this??? It looks like one of those guys that goes down a rock with one of those ropes!!!

He's 7 years old. I've had him for a month. When I got him he was very friendly but he is becoming more agressive and distant. I work 8 hours a day so I'm gone during that time, but he has lots of toys and I leave him out in the room and he wanders around. He's liked sitting on my neck at the beggining but now he flys to his cage most of the time. I've started to play rough with him a little, and it seems like after I do that he is friendlier.

Whenever I come home or late at night my bird puts his wings out to his side and starts making a whimpering noise.. almost like a little dog thats excited to see his owner.. but he's not super affectionate, he becomes very intent on sticking his beak between my two fingers where he regurgitates peices of peanuts and stuff and then re-eats them. Anyone know whats going on here? Thanks for any ideas.
