Pale headed lorikeet
So I have a pale headed lorikeet and lately it has started doing something weird. It sort of puffs up and starts sort of moving its head from side to side in slow motion in a really weird way. It also starts making some sort of puffing noise and its eyes start diolating. it only started doing it a couple weeks ago(not long before spring) so I'm guessing it has got something to do with the season though I'm not sure. aftr it does it it starts jumping around whistling as if all is normal. I am really confused on what is going on. Thx

How long have you had It? How old is It? Does It have a name? I would love to see a picture of 'It lorikeets are beautiful birds. Sorry I couldn't help it. Welcome to the forums its a great place with lots of helpful information. Also lots of much more helpful people than myself.

managed to find a video online. Turns out to be a mating dance. I at least now know the gender of my bird.
 
Useful to know don’t think mines old enough yet, but at least I’ll know what it’s doing...
