Parrots often express various emotions with their whole bodies. If you can read the minds of parrots, you can definitely get closer to each other. When you want to interpret the parrot's emotions, the key points of observation are "eyes, iridescence, mouth, crested feathers, wings (way of spreading wings), foot posture, voice and whole body movements".
eyes
when a parrot keeps staring at something, it shows that it is interested. At this time, its mood is half excited and half afraid. Maybe the thing in front of me is an interesting thing, so I stared at it excitedly; On the other hand, because I'm not sure what it is, I feel scared inside, so I keep staring.
when human beings have something they want or find something they are deeply interested in, they also stare with their eyes. If you tilt your head and stare with one eye, it means that it wants to see more clearly. Birds can get closer to the object and observe it more carefully when they stare at it with one eye than when they look at it with both eyes. Humans will show interest by tilting their heads, but the parrot's movements are actually more practical.
Please refer to the following explanation for the emotional significance of parrot eyes or surrounding parts.
Mouth
When a parrot opens its mouth wide and shows its tongue at each other, it means to be slightly intimidated and angry. When a parrot is angry, it often conveys its anger through its eyes, and it also shows it with its whole body.
if you have a gentle expression, open your mouth and stretch your tongue, it means "that looks delicious", "I want to have a bite (interested)" and "please give me that".
crested feathers
A parrot with crested feathers can clearly grasp its psychological state by observing its crested feathers. In addition, when parrots really want to intimidate each other, they will stretch their bodies and stand upside down with their crested feathers. When a bird takes this position, it is usually telling the other person, "I will attack you next."
Ways of spreading wings
When it is hot, birds spread their wings to ventilate their armpits, thus cooling their body temperature. At this time, the same action will be repeated for a fixed time. Your mouth will open and breathe.
When a parrot spreads its wings and swings its "double armpits", it means that it is happy or expecting something happy (happiness brought by human beings) (excitement due to expectation). At this time, some parrots move their heads up and down. If there is this action, it means "I can't wait!
Feet posture
When the parrot shows the appearance of stepping, standing on the perch and moving its body from side to side in a panic, it means that it is full of expectations. When the parrot got excited, he asked the owner, "Can you let me out? ","Can you give me delicious food? ",will make a step posture.
Sound
Parrots, like humans, express their inner anger or joy with sound. When the mood is high, the voice will become louder.
Others
When parrots like Xuan Feng parrots shake their bodies from side to side, they are basically threatening each other, but in fact they are full of fear for each other. The purpose of shaking your body from side to side is to make yourself look huge, but the chances of success are not high. When a parrot leans back and its feathers stand upside down, it means that it is afraid or unhappy (except when it feels cold). When instinctive disgust, feathers will also stand upside down.
In addition to the body language mentioned above, parrots express their needs in a more direct way. I hope that when the owner tickles it, he will bow his head or droop his neck. If you don't scratch it right away, it will lower its head and raise its eyes to look at you, as if to say, "Why don't you scratch me?" Some parrots are more active and will scratch human fingers with their feet to help them scratch.
A parrot that can speak human language can express various needs in words. I hope my pet bird goes to bed at night, so I put a cage on it. As a result, it keeps shouting "Good morning, good morning", indicating that it is telling you: "Look, it's morning. Help me open the cage and play with me. When it says "delicious", it means it wants to eat.
When you put your finger into the cage, the parrot immediately stops on it, which means "I want to go out, and now I can go out". On the contrary, when you put your finger into the cage, it flies from the perch to the floor of the cage and sits in the corner, which means "I don't want to go out today".
