My Quaker actually does this- aims for your face until the last second and then vears off. My Quaker is an awesome flier.

My Cockatoo grinds his beak alot. It drives me crazy. I've never known "the reason" but he's always content when he is doing it. I always hold his beak still and tell him to stop. .....drives me crazy

My lovebird only does this when you're stroking his back, and he closes his eyes at the same time, so i assume it means he's happy

It's definitely normal It means he is happy. Hiroshi my GCC does this when hes sleepy.

Correct, it's like a baby sucking his thumb or a cat purring.
