Tillie has starting doing this weird thing with my fingernails. My nails are a little long; they stick out over the top of my fingers. She gets a nail in the side of her mouth all the way to the back and then vibrates it between her upper and lower break. Sometimes her tongue is sticking out, other times she running her tongue across my nail. What is she doing? Why? She isn't trying to rub her bottom on me or regurgitating so I don't think it's a mating thing. Is it just one of those things that she just likes the vibration feeling?

Thanks

I know Bella likes to tap/bang her beak rapidly multiple times on things. Like. Food dishes for my cockatiels. Water glasses when I drink out of them. my glasses when I wear them. I think it's just her way of exploring the ... material things are made of. checking the hardness/softness . there tongue is very sensitive. she is just exploring her world. Just my opinion.
