Caique sounds like she’s crying
It’s winter and I believe this is her hormonal season. I adopted her 7 years ago after being returned to the pet store several times. She is a great little bird and I want to know if this sounds normal. She likes to go to the bottom of the cage in the back corner a here and there throughout the day and it sounds like she is crying to me. Then I come over and once she sees I’m gonna pet her she cheers right up. I know she thinks I’m her mate because she likes to try and feed me, she hasn’t aggressively tried to bite me in years, and as of recent she wants to stand on my shoulder instead of free roaming when she is out of her cage. I don’t let her stay there because I don’t wanna give her the wrong idea because I don’t want her trying to lay an egg. I took her to the vet last week and she checked out healthy. The vet assumes it’s hormonal and behavioral. I just wanted to get some feedback or ideas. She’s eating, active, vocal, playful, and lately has been rubbing her face and body on my hands very aggressively. So I’m assuming hormones but need some reassurance. Thanks.
