Cosmos_Friend Posted July 13, 2013 Share Posted July 13, 2013 Hi all, Every time I handle Cosmo, he'll lower his wings and head, exposing his back. I'll then stroke it gently with my other hand as well kiss his back. I think this is a sign of trust and affection on his part. Am I correct? I included a picture of him doing this.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 Looks good to me. Any offer of love and affection that is offered, accept it. Greys teach us. Not the reverse. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ATTACH]24158[/ATTACH] That is mating behavior. I would not advise you stroke Cosmos back and encourage it. It could lead to frustration on Cosmos part and some serious bites on yours.

Greywings Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Dan is correct that applies to Too's as well. Try and keep that petting restricted to his head area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave007 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 (edited) I'll add to what Dan said. Greys love having that done to them. If your bird is an adolescnt or adult and you do that under the wings, lower breast area and vent area, your bird will eventually bite you after you decide to stop. You may wanna stop but that doesn't mean that the bird wants you to stop and many times a bird will bite because of sexual excitement. That pic definitely shows your bird sexually stimulated. Thats the same exact position that mating birds will get into, male or female. The biting won't happen every time but the biting will happen when you least expect it. Hormonal time of the year? Heavy molting time? Etc. Edited July 15, 2013 by Dave007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
