What Is My Parrot Trying To Say?

My Eclectus parrot likes to sit and watch me, but while she's doing that, sometimes she likes to act like she's chewing without any food, and grind her beak in between. Also, there's another thing she does where she take say, her right foot and her right wing and raises them together and stands on her left leg for a couple seconds, then she goes back to standing there.

What's it mean?:red1:

She's beak grinding, which usually means she's content.

The other thing is just a stretch. My birds do that all the time.

Phlox is right on. Both of these are a sign of relaxation and contentment.

I've found that my eclectus often stretches as a way to say hello to my husband or me -- does it when we walk in the room.

I agree with Selestine. I've read elsewhere, too, that stretching the wing often means "I'm happy to see you." Since parrots like when we imitate their happy gestures, we often reach out our arms to "stretch our wings" in response.
