JeffNOK Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Can you describe what you mean by head shaking? Is it like a shiver or tremble (small subtle vibrations like when you are cold or very nervous)? Or is it more pronounced like side to side head shaking? Does you bird do it non-stop when with you? I'm just trying to understand what you are seeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 We would have to see a video of this head action to even make a guess at what your grey is doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistyparrot Posted December 20, 2013 Share Posted December 20, 2013 Misty does this sometimes when he is sitting on my knee and also when I say "Yum yum" when he is eating. In reply he goes through a head flick routine and then answers with either a lip smack sound or "Water". He has been doing this for years. I have always assumed it is just one of his affectations. At first I thought it might mean some kind of irritation in his ear but if it was he would scratch it but he does not. I asked the vet at a previous check up but he found no problem. Nevertheless it could indicate mites or an infection so get him checked just in case. Steve n Misty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrot Lady Posted December 22, 2013 Author Share Posted December 22, 2013 it's like side to side shaking but I notice he didn't do it to much today actually I'am thinking its a nervous habit or he is still a little nervous , I don't think it's anything physically wrong with him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I wouldn't worry. If baby continues to do this... check out for ear infection. If cleared... don't worry. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
