Hi everyone, I am new to this forum & have recently brought home 3 weeks ago a 5 month old Alexandrine. We’ve been getting along just fine & he is starting target training with a stick & is also eating out of my hand with caution as he is not tame at all so shocked already about this, however he has bitten me once quite hard whilst he was on the target stick I was holding!😅 Since we got him he has been doing exaggerated head movements that extend to his back, going round in almost like a figure of 8? I thought he was dancing as he tends to do this a lot whilst hanging upside down in his cage but also on his perch. Is this something to be concerned about, it’s almost like he can’t stop but will if you distract him enough. I’ve read a lot about stargazing and all sorts of neurological conditions but just wondered if anyone else’s birds does this? I’ll try upload a video very soon as he has now stopped & just settled for the evening. If anyone knows what these movements indicate I’d be grateful. Rachel 😌
