Hi there everyone!
This is my first post on this site, so if I do anything wrong do tell me and I'll fix it!
I have a 5 month old Cockatiel, likely a male, called Sam. He's been acting a little odd lately, in that he is moving one wing like it's uncomfortable and getting moody with me(not constantly, and not every day; just sometimes crabby for a couple hours).
I thought he might have some pain there, so I gently ran my hand over both wings while cuddling and he had no reaction. He flies and glides well, and eats a varied diet. He's my first bird since moving out on my own, so I'm a little lost on this weird behavior! I've been told it may be hormones or his clipped wing feathers growing back, but am not sure.
