Do or Can female cockatiels hop? Do or can female cockatiels hop? And can they hang upside down on your finger?

I have never seen my female tiels hop - just my males. I think the hopping is generally a male trait. But my female did like to hang upside down with their wings stretched out - not on my finger but on a climbing net. The males also did this.

They can, but it's up to the individual bird whether they will.
