isn't that just wing exercise? My birds do this too. It's good for them. Gets their heart rate up! It's probably the next best thing to flying on a treadmill :)

My Greys do this often! They're already very fit as they aren't clipped and fly a lot in my house but they still love to wing flap vigorously while holding on to the cage!
One day they'll take-off with it!

wing flapping
hi my caique crouches down and holds her wings back and sort of shakes them as if she is about to fly, i now know this means she wants me to pick her up when she does this, my chickens do the exact same thing when i go out and feed them my little brown chicken loves to be picked up and cuddled so when she sits with her wings back and shaking them i know she wants a cuddle. they are so interesting i am learning all the time about what she is asking for.

Draco does this a couple times a week. I'm pretty sure he's just exercising. He always starts panting afterwords.

I read the following "encouraging daily flapping exercise until the bird is just slightly winded activates the cardiovascular systems, stimulating the bird's metabolism and improving circulation". -- also says "that bathing also functions as exercise and allowing the bird to dry naturally, even though it might shiver just a bit, provides similar metabolic and vascular benefits flapping and climibing exercises".
I read alot!!!!
