clicking beak on the cage

[gourdlady247]

The past couple hours george has been clicking his bottom beak on the cage bars. And idea why he does that, or what it mean.

Thanks

Marla, he probably just likes the sound it makes, who knows what goes thru their head, it may be an attention getter but in any case do not worry about it, ignore it if it is bothering you or he will do it all the more.:whistle:

Greys do a lot of clicking without holding anything. Sometimes they bite something, hold on and do the same thing. It's just a grey who's showing slight aggression with something he or she is familiar with. As they get more comfortable with their surroundings the past habits they had eventually come to the surface.At times they also do the same thing with bells. Most of the time, the item is made of hard material ie metal, plastic, chains.

I think I just figured out why he does it. He's mimmicing me. When I call him and want him to come to a certain place in the cage I tap on the place I want him to come with my fingernail. I think when he gets where I want him he clicks back at. I'm not sure but it kinda makes since to me in my little bird brain.Lol

Nökkvi did this when I first got him and I wasn´t sure why he did this. As time passed he stopped doing it as often. Now he only does it when our cats come too close to his cage, he also sometimes does this when he is really excited and wants to go out of the cage.

That is funny Marla, George is just telling you where he wants you to go; to his cage to talk or play with him. He is a smart little stinker!!!:side:
