My beloved aspen is being silly with my door

[medibirds]

i have a budgie named aspen, hes a good birb, usually, today i left my door open by accident, and next thing you know, little aspen is just rubbing his head on the door, i have no clue why he is doing this. his companion, stormy, is not doing it, but he is. does anyone know why he would do that?

Welcome to the forum!


I can't help you I'm afraid. Is it the side of the door, or the bit that is on the end? Is he molting? Maybe scratching at pin feathers on his head?

I love your profile picture by the way! Are they your birds?

they like to use the door as a perch, he has started to grow pinfeathers, and he is molting. and no these arent my birds but im using this image as a place holder bc im trying to get a good pic of aspen and stormy chilling together.

In which case, it is probably just that the pin feathers are annoying him, so he is scratching. Try offering a bath, and if they allow you too, a head scritch would help too.
