Hi,

 

when I have the breeding boxes in the avairy the cocks start chirping to the hens and then they face them and bob their heads up and down.Does anyone know what it means?

It's all part of the courting... they are getting excited etc... that is also why their pupiles dialate. All creatures (including humans) have certain 'things' they do before they mate I don't know how else to explain it cleanly! lol

Cocks do this all the times to hens. I think it is to get them in the mating mood, dancing etc...

It's how that chat up the girls! :budgiedance:

And sometimes the girls do it too.

It's the "I'm so sexy" dance

my cocks also do it when they are feeding their mate

hi

 

i have a female budgie and she dances and bobs her head up and down quite often

and talks while dancing

 

cam s

yeah I had my hen do it too...

 

to another hen...

 

if you're ever in Melbourne come to the city and you'll see pigeons everywhere doing the bobbing dance...
