JoeFree Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Just curious as to what beak rubbing means. Joey is always rubbing his beak on things like his cage and the wall behind the cage. Just wandering if this is a sign of agitation or something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 No it is usually them trying to get something off their beak for Josey does it a lot right after she eats but they are also filing them down some, it keeps the beak in good form and finish.

lovethatgrey Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Sounds like he is cleaning his beak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TinyTimneh Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Can be either cleaning or affectionate, my TAG rubs his beak on my hand if he's feeling very snuggly. Sometimes I also get the impression it's a release for excitement or something to that effect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
