Kirby just sat on my hand for a few minutes (which I found strange in itself, because he's NEVER sat on my hand or fingers before, only on my arm) and wagged his tail right to left and flapped his wings. It's hard to explain, so here's a video: [ame="http://youtu.be/yNWD9zBZ6HM"]Jun 27, 2015 - YouTube[/ame]

I was so weirded out by this, it's so out of character for him! It looks pretty hilarious though. Keep in mind he ONLY acted like this when he was on my hand, not on my arm or on his perch. What do you think of this? Some kind of funky mating dance, or maybe he couldn't keep his balance on such a small perch? (My fingers)?
