My Starling Bugs is almost three months old, and she, or he, will jump on my hand while singing and wiggle his/her bum on my hand. Is this hormonal behavior? The bird is only two months old, that seems too early for that sort of behavior. Is this something only male birds do? My other Starling, Pip, I believe is a female, and she has never done this.

Maby it's just a happy dance thing. My girl bird shakes her tail sometimes when she's excited happy. Seems too early for hormones. Is it just a wiggle or is it rubbing on you ? Could it be itchy?
