Giannine Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 For some reason, Poppy likes to shove her beak between my fingers and just sit there. She also likes to shove her whole head in my hand so that it is cupped around it and hides her face/eyes. Do any of yours do this? I posted these pics in the Poppy thread but wanted to ask this question separately... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inara Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Nope. HRH Inara is too much of a busybody to tuck in like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SullysMom Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Yes Sully does this too! He likes to bury his whole head into my hand when he's feeling extra cuddling. So cute eh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 This is a normal part of the GreycieMae's evening. I'm playing a shoot'em up video game and listening to some tunes and she's just hanging out grabbing kisses and attention when she can: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I think it is a remnant of baby bird behavior, takes them back to being fed and cared for by Mom & Dad. Birdy love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her name reminds me of a nickname I gave my daughter, Mercedez when she was a baby. I called her Missy Mae. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acappella Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 No, as much as I know Dorian loves me, I would lose finger segments if I tried this with my boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistyparrot Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Misty is very happy to let me give a beak rub any time. Usually, I can only give neck rubs and scritches when he asks with "Tickle tickle" but then he will often bury his whole head in my hand.

neoow Posted August 30, 2016 Share Posted August 30, 2016 No, as much as I know Dorian loves me, I would lose finger segments if I tried this with my boy. Same with Alfie. He's not a cuddler. He will let me scratch his head... when HE wants me to. If I tried anything else, I'd damn well know about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Miss Gilbert's answer is an emphatic no. She has serious rules about contact and at present I am only permitted to scratch her head, neck and shoulders when she decides it is okay. Only on very limited special occasions, like when she is frightened by a thunderstorm in the middle of the night, may I ever touch her without the cage bars "protecting" her from intrusion. My little red bellied parrot Java on the other hand will do exactly what Poppy is doing. Java came to us as a baby and she has always been a cuddler. If I am on my computer she comes and sits next to the mouse and pushes my hand to get me to stop and give her snuggle time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giannine Posted August 31, 2016 Author Share Posted August 31, 2016 Yesterday when Poppy was on the couch with me she shoved her whole head and neck under my chin and alongside my neck. I think if Poppy had her way, she would seriously be on or near me all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaileysPapa Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 Bailey likes to be held by the beak also. And hide his head in my hand. Sometimes he climbs behind my head and buries himself under my hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
