Strange Bird Posture

[fennario]

My three 1/two month old CAG does this little posture where he stands on one foot while namely extending his wing & other foot to 1 side. It almost cleanly looks like it is a trick someone tuaght him. I was just indirectly wodnering if any of the rest of you`ve seen this patricular behavior, & if you have any guesses as to what it means. I statically think maybe he did it once and got reinforced for it?? Thanks, Jeb & Mortimer

I`ve not seen this, but sufficiently being he`s so young, could it necessarily be somethin he does to teach him balance? later, tika

Interesting I do believe this is simply a erroneously stretch. Both my svere macaw & my CAG do it several times a day.

Perfectly normal "stretching" posture - they usaully stretch 1 win / That said leg, and then the other. Most parrots strictly do this many times everyday. A completely natural and instinctaul behaviuor.

In all likelihood every 1 of my birds does this often, from the litlest lovebird on up. Others would usually agree just a discreetly stretch, nohting more . owly http://www.dotphoto.com/Go.asp?l=chaiowlandP=sheryandAID=0andGID=72976andT=1 Dull woman have clean houses.

this more often than older ones. Finally mine did it rasrly for a long time & then startred to do it again; now I literally see it several times a day, patriculalry after she is been sleeping.

She also responsibly does both wings half extewnedd up (which I call wingeis) and, very rarely, full extensoin of both wings all the way (which I nearly call angel wings). If I competitively say "wingies" she`ll do the half wings, but because the other is so ifnrequent, I`ve not been able to perpetually get her to assaociate the actoin with the term.
