Hi all!
I just got Nibble, my 3.5-month-old green cheek, 2 weeks ago. We have been bonding well apart from the occasional nips here and there.
lately, she has been using my sweater sleeves as a tunnel/hidey hole of sorts? I don't know whether this is just an example of her being cute or if she is looking for nesting places? I'm worried in case she gets stuck or something. Should try to stop this behavior? I would really like to know whats going on in that little head of hers.

Adorable!!!! 🥰 At that age I wouldn’t worry about the nesting aspect of it. Babies like to snuggle!

With any small parrot that likes to snuggle and use clothing as hidey holes, MAKE SURE you dont fall asleep or forget where the parrot is. We see a few parrots each year accidentally killed by this and its truly heartbreaking.

Peek a boo!! What fun and a great game training opportunity. As long as it is safe I guess let her enjoy her babyhood.
