Hi, I hope that I'll find some answers. My lovebird recently started doing some strange head movements. This episodes always happen when he's sleepy, later in the day, before going to bed, or when wanting to take a nap.
He starts chirping, getting comfortable falling asleep, and suddenly he starts shaking head like trying to stay awake, then his head looks like dropping down and he sometimes hangs his beak to hold onto to the cage or other surface nearby. When I come close to him, he stops. After the episode, he either falls asleep if it's bedtime, or if it's too early, starts eating or continues with usual daily activities.
He's pretty active, his droppings are normal, his balance is good, feathers look normal too. I checked for vomiting, but I couldn't find visible signs of that.
There aren't any good bird vets in my country, they don't do tests, they just prescribe antibiotics if there are visible signs of sickness, so I wouldn't like to expose my lovebird to any unnecessary stress.
Has anyone had an experience like this? Is this something I should be worried about?
