Marvin making strange noises.

Postby MissLady9902 » Fri Jan 22, 2010 8:38 pm

Okay, Marvin is not even a year old yet. When I get him out of his house or off a playstand he makes these odd "insistant huffs".
ALso, when I rup his beak he gets real low and holds his wings out and pumps his head up and down. I think he's a little young to be hurking up food for me.
Anyone know what the crap he is doing?
Also, he learned how to say crap. hehe

It sounds like courtship/mating behavior. He thinks you are his mate.

that's what it looks like to be too but isn't he a little young for that?
He's not even a year! :gray:

I don't know anything about the 'huffs', but when Mojo was younger (less than a year) he would go through the motions of regurgitating sometimes when I was near him or holding him but he didn't actually bring any food up until he was older.

Well I guess that's what it is then.
I'm Marvin's mate now AND Noodle's mate.
Apparently I'm bird bi. ;)
