Acting a little strange .. :icon_confused:

hey everyone,
toc's been acting really strange latley, and i was wondering if anybody on BB knows what's going on with him ..
The past few weeks before Toc goes to bed or if i put him in his cage for whatever reason, he goes to a certain corner in his cage; hangs upside down, and everytime he chirps he twists his head around as far as he can ..
he never used to do this and i'm not sure if somethings wrong ..
any ideas ?

thanks guys! :)

I think he's just amusing himself, it doesn't seem like anything is wrong. He'll do it when we're in the room with him, too. its like he gets really excited, and then twists his head upside down and then back really fast and chirps again.. and he does it over and ovvver

Sounds like he's having fun. My friends parrotlet will be standing up straight and then stretch all the way back so her head is upside down though she is still standing up straight. Like a yoga pose. She does this just to be goofy and playful.

If his poops are normal and he is still drinking and eating everything like he should, then he should be fine!

Sounds like he's just having a good time!! Oliver hangs from the top of his cage for whatever reason, hanging out and chirping away. He's a weird little guy but whatever makes him happy right!



by the way Emily I LOVE that your sister is on here = ) I think its cute!!!

WHen I first got O he would hang from the top of his cage by one foot. Literally he would be almost spinning, like those things that hang from ceilings. I would always look at him like "No Oliver youre going to fall!" but sure enough he'd just cling and then switch feet. It was so bizarre.
