Why does my sun conure keep bobbing his head?

Question

He is 3 months and he keeps bobbing his head,is this a bad thing?

Answer 1

I have a Nanaday Conure and she does all the time, especially if I make a clicking noise.  I think it is so meting Conures do. Don't worry about it.

Answer 2

My green cheek conure seems to bob more when he wants something. ie. to see us, or food, or a treat ect. I've heard they do it most when they want something. So maybe if your conure is bobbing and your sitting somewhere else, walk to it, or encourage it to come to you.  

Answer 3

Sounds like it happily dancing to me trying to bond with you.  

Answer 4

If everything else seems fine, then chances are he is just being silly. My Blue Fronted Amazon and Blue Mountain Lorikeet do it all the time, especially when you show them a treat.  

Answer 5

when a bird bobs his head or rubs his beak on you it is a sign of affection. My birds bob their heads all the time and we call it dancing! He usually does this when he is wanting attention or when we are playing with him! It s very normal and he will probably do this all the time!
