I know the picture is hard to see, but I have noticed her doing this lately. The toy is new, it was her welcome home present (all her old toys are "indestructible" so I got her a few she can tear up). Anyway she backs into the toy, tail both up or down, or wraps her wing around it, between her body and wing. She makes contented noises and preens around it.

I am happy she likes it, but I am a little worried it may be mating behavior, but the question is, is it okay? She isn't anymore agressive and she comes right out to me if I call her while she is doing it.

She is doing very well otherwise, she has turned into a mushmac with me and I am very very happy.

NNNAW! That's adorable!!! No, I don't believe it's in sexual nature at all. Both my big macs have what I call 'comfort toys'. :D

THRILLED to hear she's become a mush mac!!

Bonny does the same thing, I would not worry about it.

Thanks :) I am glad it is nothing to worry about! I didn't want to have to take away her toy. I love the noises she makes, the contented cluck and purrs :) Davy (my bfa) coos and purrs along with her
