HeatherStrella Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Harrison does this quite often while not in her cage. She sits with her wings like this and kinda shakes them. Here's a pic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siobha9 Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 She is gorgeous and loves the camera! Liath tries to eat the camera! Are her wings clipped? If so the ends of the feathers may be a little sharp and could be irritating her. Does she make funny little grunting noises when she does this and hold her body quite low? If so, she could be trying to mate with you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGM Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 she looks like she wants to fly, is she flighted or clipped? mine looks like that when he's about to fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
birdmom Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 Both my greys do that when they want to go somewhere, it's a flight instinct, I think. He probably wants to fly, or get from point a to b. Mine lean in the direction of where they want to go, when they do that. I usually ask them where they want to go, and point to it. They nod their head and I give them a ride on my finger.

danmcq Posted October 7, 2007 Share Posted October 7, 2007 I agree with the ready - set - fly theory. Dayo does the same thing when he is either thinking about flying or just before he lifts off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momy442000 Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Emma does this when she see's me coming or when she see's food that I have and she wants - basically it's her being excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMustee Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Mine does it when he's excited or wants to be picked up...not so much before flight though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always loved going in there to see their birds...even when I didn't have any feathered friends. You must live in my neck of the woods, huh?

Shim101 Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Calvin does that before he jumps from his cage. Either she wants to be with you, or she wants to be somewhere else other then where she is at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
