Question?

[ginabean]

Hey guys! Y'all are so helpful I have another question. Baby does this thing with her foot and beak, almost like if you were blubbering your lips with your finger. She's does it quite often and was looking for some insight as to what it means? I've looked all over the interwebz but no such luck. Anybody got an idea? Thanks!

That sounds too funny to not have a video of it

Sounds like a cleaning or grooming response. but like stated above, difficult to respond too without a video.

Sounds similar to something both Ely and Barney do when they want to get pet. though that's more with their face/neck than their beak. have you noticed his talons in his nostrils at all? Could be cleaning his nose.

Very typical cockatoo behavior!! Seems to indicate they are content and doing a bit of grooming. I take it as a signal from them to get involved by gently stroking their head feathers! Oh yeah, the talon-in-beak thing! All the time!!
