Male dance question?? Help!
I have a 7 month old male (was DNAed) and I think he might be trying to do the male dance and then another part of me thinks it could be something else.
Hmm - not really sure. Could someone please explain to me exactly what the male dance would look like? Also, he is 7 months old and has recently started doing this, so could you also explain to me what the male dance would look like when they first start to try it? I assume they don't do it fully and perfectly right away.
Thanks - any help would be great!!!!

From my observations, they are all a little different. Basically looks like they are in a trance of some sort, jumping around and showing off. My 7 year old waves/arches his head around a circular motion and makes 'hmm.. hmm' sounds and clicking sounds with his beak. He also spreads his wings and runs his beak along a perch or floor. My 1 year old spreads his wings and runs along perches or the floor too. Some males jump or hop around excitably but I havnt seen mine do it. Maybe someone has a good video of their male dancing?

my irn belived to be a boy will put his wings out and pin and swing back and fourth and up and down and sometimes will hope with his wings open excited like lauren said
but mainly he will open his wings in the heart shape and pin his eyes and either bow his head or get a long neck and move back and fourth and up and down
Hope that helps

God I am so new to all of this and the terminology. Male dancing.....what does it mean? My newly adopted 7 year old does what I thought was manic pacing from one of his perches to the side of the cage and back. Also does back and forth and side to side head movements. Does this mean he's feeling, um, frisky? Sigh. I really need to do more reading on the little fella.
probably (frisky)
actually my now 13-14 week old baby does it. Particularly to bright objects, ends of bars etc. Would have thought a bit too young but you never know.
Max (boy) used to do it a lot to the same sorts of things. All stretching and posing, pinning eyes, wings out, swaying backwards, forwards, left & right.
It looks classic!!

Well, I used to had on it's age about 5 to 6 years used to dance the same way on everyting & make some clicking voice, the funny thing that when it was setting on the top of my head, it change itself into giant ball of feathers & keep dancing on my hair like he is praying !

Oscar's previous owner must have had a cat. When Oscar does his wing-out-head-down-eyes-pinned dance, he also makes a noise that sounds JUST like a cat meowing low. And he hops from one spot to right in front of Luna. Trying to show her what a stud he is lol. He's quite the little charmer.
