So lately since Ollie has began to start flying more (he only have 3 flight feathers on each side in but flies a lot) he is doing this new head movement. I have a video of another bird here to show you because I wasn't able to get a good one of Ollie. The bird here regurgitated after a bit but Ollie doesn't. Is this the beginning of the dreaded hormones? If so maybe this is a bad time for him to discover flying...do you think? He has also been attacking the air a lot lately and a blanket on me but it seems like playing because he never bit me yet but he is acting slightly more aggressive towards my blanket. Here is the video.

A crossover Quaker Scuti (F), A Sun conure named AC, A Cinnamon Green Cheek conure Kent, and 6 budgies, Scuti Jr. (f), yellow (m), clark Jr. (m), Dot (f), Zebra(f), Machine (m).
you're probably right, I usually assume an experienced bird owner knows more about their own bird and circumstances then I do....But then again he's not really rubbing his lower back or anything underneath on anything. He might be expressing something else...."what is that thing you holding", "come get me out", "look at me I'm being a clown come get me out", maybe just "hey look at me being excited".

Regardless, there isn't much you can do about it....like the video though, beautiful bird!

Rio (Yellow sided conure) sadly no longer with us
that to me looks like a "Hey! Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Look at me! Ohh this tent is so soft, Look at me! Look at me!"
