What is my female Amazon doing??!!

Sometimes she acts just plain weird...She will hunch down like almost flat bellied and hold on to the bars of her cage. she will stick her wings out a little bit while doing this and just hold it there....Then she will act normal talk with the male. She does this throughout the day..Whats goin on with her??!!
