Question by Danielle: What is my cockatiel bird doing? Strange Behavior?
I’ve had a male cockatiel bird for over 9 years, and recently I have been seeing him doing some pretty odd things…
He would stand on his perch and rub his tail left to right really fast against the perch he’s standing on. I tried to get his attention so he’d stop, but he just kept doing it.
He’s being doing this a lot in the past week. And it’s becoming more and more often.
What is he doing? And why is he doing this? Is there something wrong, or something I should do?
Please help!

The rubbing sounds like he is masturbating. Yep, birds DO masturbate, both males and females.
