I have a yellow sided conure, about 8 months old. we think male, but don't know. he has a behavior that I understand is common for his species, but I would like to know what he means by it, if anyone can help
he arches his back, bobs up and down and struts back and forth. his head feathers are flat on top, but out in the back. he will "bow" three times, walk across whatever surface he is on, then "bow" in the other direction. it's not new, he's always done it, I would just like to know what it means, (and what I'm telling him when I bow back to him)
