Hi folks, I've got "frick" the GCC. I'm guessing it's about a year old since the aviary has yet to get back to me (a'hem). BAsically, I ended up bringing him home after I pretty much raised him for the last 8 months at my pet store. When he started running to the front of his habitat every time he saw me, biting several of my coworkers and any customer looking at him, I realized he was my bird.
SO...he's transitioned beautifully to my family at home. I've read in threads that the beak grinding noise at the end of the day is comfort/happy/content. He is really becoming more and more outgoing! I just realize he spent the last 6 months or so missing some really good training opportunities.
We, the humans, are still learning to trust him to not bite. He's always been very good about nips instead of real bites. we are learning his boundaries as well as teaching him ours (no he's not been sexed..some days i call him him, others her).
here's my question.
just the other day he started headbanging. on me. and then on his cage.
What does this usually mean?
He literally will bang his beak on me or something. not for long periods of time, just..BANGBANGBANGBANG then stop. it's as if someone turned on the heavy metal in his head and only he can hear it!
thanks for all your help on previous threads.
