Lately Skipper's started nippping my hand

I know he doesn't do this for attention, to hurt me or because he's angry

Most times its just a light nip orther times it hurts more but its never a full on bite

I've noticed that when he does thing he's tail feathers splay out like a fan.

At first I thiought he was angry at me but he seems pretty happy: he does that cute head bobbing thing and chirps and stuff

I'm really not sure why he's doing this, some say lack of calcium or something? he's got a cuttlefish bone...

If it helps he's going through a moult right now so could he just be moody?

 

Thanks for the help

From the information you've posted, I'd say he is just moody because he's moulting.
