tapping

[Erynn]

do your lovebirds tap their beaks on things. Loki taps for attention, taps for everything he must lovethe sound but is is weird it is just 4-5 short quick taps on anything he can hit.

Can't say mine does when he want's attention he hangs from the side of his cage and flaps his wings. I've noticed when he eats something he swipes his beaks on the bars of his cages thats the closest he gets to beak tapping.

Lovebirds "tap" their beaks on various things in their environment for various reasons. Good food is cause for lots of beak rubbing, but I've found most of the beak tapping, which ends up being more like a jailbird running a tin cup along the jailhouse bars, is territorial hen behavior. "It's my cage and just stick your finger in here"

I have both a male and female and though I have notice the female does it a lot more the male also runs his beak along the bars. My Hubby and me did make that comment that it reminded us a jailbird running the tin cup wanting to get out of it's cage. Hehe
