Wing flapping?

[pam311]

Our new (to us) 5 year old CAG lowers his head a bit and slowly flaps his wings. Just wondering what this means, Thanks.

That's the common position that birds get into just before they're about to fly but many will go through the whole thing minus the actual flying. Many who do fly on a regular basis will fly from point A to point B after getting into that position. They also flap vigoriously when excersing their wings But the head/neck position is aimed slightly upward.

Our CAG does that to. He too is new to us but is 4 years old. She likes to lower himself and slowly flaps his wing............looking as if he about to take off.

Charlie does that now and again. It is quite normal.
