Does my lovebird like it when I do this?

I have an 8 month old peach-faced lovebird that I got yesterday. It got given around and went back to the pet shop, and was hand-fed, so it's already used to being handled. It doesn't like it when I reach for it, but when the door is left open, it jumps out and onto my shoulder. Sometimes I pet and scratch its head, and it closes its eyes and sometimes opens its beak like it's yawning. Does it mean it likes being pet on the head?:green1:

Sounds like it likes you if it hops on your shoulder! I don't know what the yawning means. Mine yawns in its cage by itself.

When you scritch over their ear, they yawn sometimes. Yes he likes it! :)

Welcome to our awesome forum
He is most definitely loving it
He wants to come on his own terms, not for you to take him out

Any pic's to share?
