What does this mean? I have cockatiel named Petie that does this crazy spin that i did not teach him.?

Question

He sticks his head in the air, then makes a clicking noice one time as he brings his head down while doing a 180 degree spin.

Answer 1

maybe he larned it himself you know birds can be very smart or maybe he was trying to grab one of his feathers so he could clean it.

Answer 2

Your petie could just be trying to find a mate!

As I am typing right now, my cockatiel is doing the same.

Also though, cockatiels tend to teach themselves how to do tricks when they are hanging out with them all day.

Mines do that sometimes too. Your petie seems cute though!

Answer 3

He probably taught himself that.  Birds are very smart.
