I have an easy time petting most birds, but I feel like I'm doing something wrong with my pionus.
She will sometimes get her head feathers all fluffed up like she wants to be petted. I've tried petting her head many different ways, but she usually just gives me like 2-5 seconds to attempt to pet her, then rams her head against my hand and loses interest.
She always rubs her head against my hand in the direction of her feathers, rather than the opposite direction (how most birds like to be petted). I don't know if I'm just bad at petting her, or if she just doesn't like petting that much, or what. If anyone has any unique experience petting this type of bird, I'd appreciate any advice. Every time she fluffs up her head feathers then doesn't like my petting, I feel like I've let her down somehow lol
