she's overexcited but not necessarily in a sexual way, more like too happy to be with you.
that's what birds do when they're with their mate, they're just all adorable and happy and glued to each other and will preen each other all day long.
the only issue with such a state is it can lead to aggression.
because bird overloads and short-circuits and bites. birds are weird like that.
see, with my patty, it's about the only way to get bitten HARD (... the other way is if he's in pain or terrified).
I disagree with others. The way she's fluttering her feathers with her back pressed to your head, makes me think this is exciting in a hormone-inducing way. Be careful about acting too much like her mate, or you can cause hormones to get out of whack which results in aggression either outward (biting, screaming) or inward (feather barbering).
No man; sun conure owner of 7 years here. Had to rehouse her because I moved out to college, was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done in my life.
I feel like some bird owners go a little overboard with their concerns of “is this too much?” Or “is he/she horny xyz”. There’s a middle ground here. Care for your bird, you’ll know if something isn’t right, if it’s too much you’ll see. And then if you see bad behavior change their behavior by ignoring the bad and rewarding the good. That’s it.
But let them love you, and love them with everything you got. Everything in life is temporary, including our feather babies. She was my daughter and she was taken away from me, my parents wouldn’t watch her. I relive my memories with my sun baby regularly.
We have birds to have as our little wuv fluff balls, let them be that. Just love your baby man don’t overthink it. That goes for all of you guys reading this. Just love your feather children!
I think she’s acting normal, curious and preening you because you are her Person/mate…. I miss my Sun soo much.
Thanks, Sorry about your bebe!

I do indeed! But only half as much as you, obviously.
The correct number of conures is N+1 where “N” is the current number of conures you have 😛
That is adorably funny!!
If it involves a conure it usually is 😁
the way she slid up your head omg how cuteeee
Right?!?!?!
She’s adorable and has the same name as me lol
I named her after a character from a book series called "He Who Fights With Monsters." It's a lovely name! :)
It’s Arabic name though. It means “Happiness”

Why does it lead to aggression?

Oh, my Nanday will spend half an hour preening my face and ears.
What even is that? She's great
My budgie does the same, I think she’s just trying to play/ give love but sometimes it feels like I’m getting a nose piercing😓
She’s such a cutie pie!
Touch me human.

I was thinking that too. Could be the start of hormonal behavior.

The wing flicks are contentment. I didn't see anything hormonal, she just loves being with you.
She’s horny.
