Mating dance?

They like to practice this from a young age and get their moves on. Ever watched parents having their 4 year olds dancing to stripper music...

Never play pop music for your parrot. It's a bad influence on them. Now I have a sennie who thinks "dontcha wish your parrot was hot like me" with her dance moves

Myrtle and I dance to Thriller. My daughter came in the room one time while we were dancing. Of course she broke out laughing and said she was glad I have Myrtle. I have no rythum so you can imagine what I looked like.

That is too cute, Liz! I've played MJ's Thriller for Tiki, too, but we should take cues from you and Myrtle bust some zombie moves

Okay, so Tiki did the "mating dance" again on my shoulder... eyes pinning, shaking her tail feathers at me, wings drooped low, head bobbing. Even my husband was like, "Whoa..."
