I've handled lots of parrots at work and I'm familiar with their typical behavioral cues. But for some reason, my personal parrot (Senegal, female, 1.5 years old) never does your typical "relaxed" behaviors that other parrots do. I know without a doubt that she loves being scritched (she might need to go to Scritchaholics Anonymous tbh). However, unlike every other parrot I've seen, she never fluffs up her head feathers when she gets enjoyable scritches, and she never closes her eyes either. She just stares at me, unblinkingly, like "O_O..." (kind of creepy, really). I kinda wish she would just relax and lift up those feathers like a normal bird lol. Does anyone else have a quirky, "emotionless" parrot like that too?
