The concave area on the body under the wing is directly over where the birds reproductive organs sit. Essentially, the bird's umm.. 7th letter of the alphabet... spot. The -CONCAVE- bit. Everywhere else is fine. The wing itself is fine. Just no long drawn out sessions of rubbing on the dip in the body and it's all good. That's all there is to it.
By all means though, snuggle, pet and cuddle the hoo out of your birds, just be mindful of a bird begging to be rubbed ONLY in that particular area. There are some birds (usually males, figures huh?) that will cry and beg and lift their wing to be pet on the no-no spot and if they don't get it, they turn nasty. That's an problem. lol
Pretty much, you shouldn't pet under the tail, on the tail or on the back either, but honestly... as long as you know your bird and you're not mast...er...stroking it in specifically pleasurable ways known to er.. yah, you get the point when it's feeling seasonal, then you should be fine.
