Hi,
Can any one help me find a reputable resource on how to read bird behavior and what said behavior looks like? Everything I read just says they give very subtle body language. I know every bird is different but it would be nice to get a basic idea before I jump in.
I'll be getting my first bird in June /July (an ekkie) but I'm clueless on bird body language. I don't want to upset or push the bird away from me or put myself in danger because I'm trampling all over its bonderies because I don't read its signals.
I can read a dog while standing on my head with my eyes crossed, cats are more subtle and some of their language has double or triple meanings (tail flicks for example, can mean it's really annoyed or its content, or it's in stalk mode, you need to pair that with what it's ears and eyes are doing to get an accurate gage on them)
Thank you
