Question about Senegal

[dragon06]

My Senegal does the following...

starts regurgitating, steps from one foot to another, lowers his wings, and makes cute little throat sounds. He does this all at once.
I have heard that this is some sort of mating dance. Is it? If it is should I try and stop this behavior? Let him carry on and be cute? He does this for me at least 2 times a day and will occaisionally do it for my roommate.

it is mating behavior. I would suggest discouraging the behavior. Find something else for him to do right away.

I am unsure of what to do to discourage this. He will continue it even when out on my hand. Do I try to give him a toy? (he doesn't really play with toys that much with me outside the cage). Should I just ignore him when he does that and turn my back? Do you have any suggestions? And just out of curiosity (cause I am relatively new at this) why is it bad for him to continue this behavior? Does it make him more aggressive? I am just curious.

Thats it. Give him a toy, put him on a play gym just about any thing that will distract him.

what about walkong away from him and ignoring when he does it?
