So we recently hand trained our goffins, Peaches, but she started doing something strange.
As she hangs out with me, she'll come to my hand if it lays flat and sit on it. She then moves to a finger, takes it into her mouth, and bites gently. I'm very used to both her "No, I don't like this" nips and her "Stop it please." and it's nothing like this. Even when she bites to not do damage, it's done differently and much harder. It's almost like she's grooming my hand, or playing with it (she does something similar with new objects, playing with them to figure out if it's worth swiping.) Her wings aren't lifting at all, and she isn't shivering or throbbing. She will sometimes whisper to herself, but that is normal behavior for her.
Is this something I should be worried about? If it is sexual I want to nip it in the bud before she gets used to it.
