I just got my first green cheek 4 days ago and he is about 8 weeks old. He is very cuddly and attached to me already, he comes out of his cage and runs up to my shoulder and cuddles into my neck. He's eating normally and his droppings look fine, etc. But he does this little wing-twitch thing thats concerning me a little. He doesn't do it all the time, in the cage he's fine. But when he's on me or cuddling with me, if I pet him or anything his wings twitch a bit and he lets out a little "cheep" repeatedly. I have been googling it like crazy and I have read that it could be normal baby behaviour that they do when they want to be fed. However, I read on some other threads that not a lot of people have heard of this behaviour. Please let me know what you think. I hope my baby is ok.
Note: There isn't an avian vet within close proximity to me, I'll have to drive a little while to get to one so I don't want to overreact and drive all the way there if he is fine...
I'm also new to this thread so please excuse my ignorance because I'm not entirely sure how to use it yet. Sorry for the lengthy description. Thanks in advance, guys!
