DanielaWelborn Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 how do our birds exhibit sexual behavior? Jelly Bean is doing a whole lot of beak rubbing on his stand, wings are flaccid. And a whole lot of calling out. I saw a video recently that might resemble his behavior . Best to ignore it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayd Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Here you go: Regurgitating. Acting overly sexual in response to being petting (especially on the back or wings). Hormonal feather plucking (most often occurring on the chest or between the legs) Frequent regurgitating of food, panting, crouching down with wings dropped. Increased shredding of paper or toys and increased chewing Possessiveness of favorite human (or bird companion) - while being extra aggressive toward others. Increased vocalization Females especially may show an increased interest in cuttlebone or other calcium sources, as well as protein rich foods like egg or meat. Masturbating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Jay gave a good list of sexual behavior signs. Yes, just ignore it. You can talk to them, just do not touch them while this behavior is being performed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Just say thanks but no thanks and walk away, you do not want to encourage that behavior, no one likes being sexually frustrated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray P Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 There are no stupid questions. At one time we were all new at this. That's why we have this forum to give a helping hand. Some of us can remember that far back when we were new. I mean way way back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoHooman Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Coool, I was just imagining Tooka doing that but he is just 1 year old and so far from it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) Coool, I was just imagining Tooka doing that but he is just 1 year old and so far from it! VoHooman, Tooka isn't to young to show signs of affections. A Grey is a "Love Creature", their whole natural wild up bringing is based on love from their parents and flock, the same goes for a Grey raised in captivity, their raised in a rich love environment. The differents is at a young age it's not sexual................................. Edited April 13, 2013 by Jayd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistyparrot Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 There is no such thing as a stupid question or a stupid person.!!!!!!! I'm at the human vet right now, I'll post more later......... I have to disagree Jayd. There are stupid people. They are the ones who don't ask questions. Steve n Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanielaWelborn Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Okay, on to the next , and to me, the obvious one: how does masturbation show in Greys? What is it that they do? I tried to google it and came up with not much useful things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Whoa! This site is rated R!!!! Good thing Sophie isin bed, although I hear her talking to me. Sophie has never done much sexually, except when my oldest son had insomnia and I would find Sophie sleeping with him in family room. I would find her doing some strange mating dance with his feet when I got up in the morning.She also hated his girlfriend and would sit between them.

Jayd Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 To clarify this matter, your parrot will lower itself to the perch, your finger, or hand and rub itself.[wiggle] There not bashful where they do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
murfchck Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Knock on wood, my greys have not done that yet. Bubba has though, to a branch on his stand and Gus will do it to anything he can stand on. ( hand, shoulder, knee, my head, my forehead even the back of my dog) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 Greys are not known for this so much as Amazons. Perhaps a video may help in knowing the signs of when a parrot is doing this.: Greys will show affection with the drooping of wings and displaying their love for you. But, they normally do not go full blown into the actual act. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had several birds before, I never had a parrot but I read Greyt stories of your greys and even my 6 day experience having a grey is showing that. The fact that Tooka is taking food from my hand only in 4days for the grey that never had a owner and was a wild cought indicating that, I might be wrong but I notice he was trying to say his name today, all of this show that he likes me too. He is part of our family now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
