Does your sun conure ever shake a lot?

Pipa is now a year and 3 months old, and she is doing good so far. She has a temper, and bites all the time, ignoring all her toys and going for the fingers instead, but that's another topic for another time.

She's also started to put her butt on my hands, even face, which I obviously stop, and she's also going through a molt right now. She has a lot of pin feathers, every 2-3 months. She eats normal, poops normal, plays normal, so nothing's out of the norm. One day she is calm and sweet, the next she is a pain and fiesty...which, again, totally normal behavior for her :09:

For the past 2-3 weeks, it's been hot here in SoCal. However, I've noticed she will sit there and tremble/shiver every so often. Is this something of concern?

Hi there! I don't have a sun but I do have a green cheek. I've noticed the same thing. Usually after a bath when she's very wet, which makes sense to me. Other times, its been when her room is quite warm. She has been to the vet twice in the past 3 months (for other reasons) and has been given two thumbs up by the avian vet. As long as her appetite, droppings, personality, and activity level remain the same, I'm not worried about it.

Have you noticed any other symptoms that concern you? Like poofiness, lethargy, lack of appetite?

Hi LaurenB, nope I haven't noticed anything out of the norm. Today she is more peaceful, less bite-happy, but yesterday she was insufferable, which I'm sure is just hormones. We don't have the AC on, and she does shake after her baths, which, like you mentioned, is normal.
