I have a very sweet, affectionate, 18 yo female umbrella cockatoo. She is very bonded to me. Sometimes when I am lying down with a blanket, she will start to dig at it. She puts her head down against my leg or the mattress, and scratches with her feet at the blankets. Sometimes she kicks so hard she rolls herself over lol. I always assumed this was a nesting behavior, but I haven't found any info on it. Do you think that's what it stems from, or could it be a foraging behavior? Or is she just weird lol.
I took a short video of her and put it on YouTube so you can see her in action: [ame="https://youtu.be/OVqsN1QEwqc"]https://youtu.be/OVqsN1QEwqc[/ame]
