I have a 10yr old GW macaw that I've had for almost 2 weeks now. He is (mostly) hand friendly. He'll step up when he wants to, which is rarly since he's still new to his environment and me. He'll take treats, etc. I respect his body language and can mostly read and understand what he wants, all but this. He is ALWAYS making this pose! Most of the day he's in this. If I let him out of his cage, he's doing it, in his cage, just all day every day. I'll go up and see if he wants anything, but its never anything consistent.
I just want to make sure its good, and if it is, and he's demanding something, I'd like to know what he's going for so he doesn't think I'm ignoring him.
Head down, beak slightly open, wings hunched up and out just a little. He is almost quivering trying to stay in the pose when he does it. I'll try to give him treats, he'll take it, then get back into the pose. He wont hop up. he'll just come out of it, walk around, then go back into the pose. Its so bizarre because he is ALWAYS doing it.
