Why do parakeets bob their heads2007-11-24 17:27:04

I have 2 parakeets an sumtimes they bob their heads up an down what are they doing that for.

Answers:

It is a sign of affection.a sort of happy dance

I believe it is kinda like birds in the wild..they make that sort of motion when they regurgitate food for their young. Yeah, kinda gross..but it's a good thing. They are content.

communication between eachother..

hey we all got to get down and feel the beat in our hearts, just smile and know they are feeling the rythm of life, big hugs to you!

---

they are just groovin in their own fashion

---

because they are funky, unlike liberals

---

Same reason velociraptors did.to communicate, or just aid in walking; their heads balance their tails, in some species.

Try this out. Look in a mirror and say to yourself over and over again "I'm going to do it", "I'm going to do it", "I'm going to do it.!"Your head should be nodding by now.

Very optimistic bread of bird but a very apprehensive one I'm gonna but like to keep telling myself over an over.

It also has to do with courtship rituals but if you also look at men in a Night Club you will see the same thing. Just Alcohol induced rather than hormonal.LOL

yes

thats mostly how they dance

occasionally, parakeets will regurgitate. this is how they feed their young. I have also witnessed them feeding each other this way.

when you have 2 or more parakeets i think its like some kind of nonverbal communication but when you just have one parakeet, i dont really know but mine bobs his head when hes happy, when im around or when i turn on music
