I like to place a towel over my shoulders when I hold Pyro. This way it catches any droppings he leaves and my clothes stay clean. Sometimes he likes to crawl under the towel and snuggle up to my neck. Today when he was under there it sounded like he was grinding his beak. He did this the entire time he was under there. I think I read somewhere that beak grinding is common in conures, but what does it mean? Is it considered a bad habit?
