Question for multi bird owners

[Rickypawsey]

Hi guys my baby Turk keeps putting his feet on my other birds and just sits there like that or some times preens them while his foot is there . Does anyone know what this means or is it just a trait. Many thanks

Photo? Could be a quirky thing, could be a mating thing.

I had parrotlet pairs that would "hold hands" with their feet. I think it was just to another way for them to feel close to one another and to bond.

My caiques are always putting their feet on their buddies. But in a not so benevolent manner. They are quite feisty and will push, shove, grasp, pull, preen and do all sorts of things with their feet on another bird.

It seems like a pretty normal thing to me. The caiques do it way more often then the parrotlets did.

My Sun and quaker take turns putting their foot on the back of the other. They just stand there like that... it's funny to watch.

I tried putting Mango my YSA Amazon with my cousins Quaker which at this point seems to be mine. Mango lunges for him. Anyway to get them to get along?

Hold still while I get your feathers...

I only have one bird but she loves to grab my lips with her feet, it seams like a way for her to get more attention from me.

My quaker parrot puts his one little foot on me like he wants to give me a high five or something
