Twitches.. uh is that like a seizure, or just suddenly deciding to fluff his feathers? My conure will sometimes jerk awake when he's sleeping.

Neko does this but not in an alarming way - he'll twitch to signal me to STOP touching him or to stay away. He never just does it when he's sitting in his cage. I hope your bird isn't having seizures.

You should call a vet and ask, he could be having seizures.

Does it look like a funny snaky head movement thing?

That is what it looks like when parrotlets regurgitate...

Ohh I didn't think about it being that. Does he kinda wobble his head back in forth in an exagerated way?
