Whenever my parrot drinks(which he doesn't do much)he keeps making a slurping noise and pointing his head up for about 3 minutes each time. Is him bobbing his head and squawking whenever I play a game on the PlayStation 2 in the same room as his cage and/when I play my guitar around him normal? I really am not good at owning a parrot. Also, do most parrots bite your finger when trying to pet him by putting my hand in the cage and carefully petting his back?
Parrots resent anything like musical instruments or telephones that take our attention away from where they think it should be. Petting a parrot should be confined to the area of the head and neck; petting the back can stimulate mating behaviors, which you don't want to encourage. His biting when you try to do that may be his way of telling you he doesn't want to be touched while he's inside his cage. QPs often dislike having their personal space-- their cages-- invaded by human hands.
