Today, as I was talking with my little guy, I noticed him edging closer and closer to me on the perch, almost leaning toward me. He doesn't do 'step up' so I don't think he was wanting me to pick him up - but he wanted something. I just kept talking sweet to him for a while, while he tried to communicate SOMETHING, lol.
He wasn't asking to be petted. When he wants the back of his neck scritched, he makes a sort of quacking noise and preens his chest feathers and half-closes his eyes. If he's just preening, not asking for pets, he doesn't make the noise, and he keeps an eagle eye on everything, lol.
He was just looking at me, and talking back to me, but sort of leaning in, which is a new body-language word I don't know. Do they all have individual body language 'words' or is it universal?
