Hi!! New quaker member. my new friend Pablo gets very strange when we start talking to him. It seems that if he gets too excited he will tuck his tail underneith himself (in between his legs and its like hes trying to 'hump' the air. Also, sometimes (most the time) he will bite the gate wire and hold on, tuck his tail forward and use one leg to 'scratch' his butt..... anyone know if this is him itching or is he just well ya know, 'being frisky with himself' ??

Thanks and if i can figure how to put a pic of him doing 'his thing' i will...

Um, I don't think he is scratching his butt. Yes the hormones are kicking in.

You are so right Stella...Kicking in for sure....

Welcome to mommy hood!!

you now have an active horny bird!!
good luck!!!

LMAO ya'll are too dang funny.......gotta love "the season" huh?

That's a rather odd position. Does he fall off?

The things you don't find out until after you bring him home... ALL of my animals are hormonal... the cat, the bird, the sugar gliders... I can't wait for spring to be over...

LOLOL I guess he doesnt need a ladder or foot toy or toothbrush to get his groove on. Clever little bird! and apparently, he does yoga!

looks like he's really enjoying himself

hahahaha Thank you all for these funny replies!!! I knew i found a nice new message board to chat on!! I know I am going to have plenty of new friends to help me through my new found bird hobby!!! (:

Thanks again!! and nope he doesnt lose his balance at all!! he doesnt even need to hang on ! I do believe i should be blushing when im chatting with him!! (im assuming he's a he since i kinda am going by the 'bulging forehead' formula idea on sexing QPs (; )

I do think his 'little dance' is hilarious most the time.. that is until family and friends start asking what is he doing lol. Would putting a mirror inside so he has 'company' be a good idea do you think?

I just love this website. Thanks again friends!!
