He does a lot of head bobbing, usually when he's chatting up a storm. I guess it's his happy look-at-me dance.

Me too!IJava!
He only does it when he's chatting or trying to get my attention. I caught him doing it from the corner of my eye one day and have been encouraging him to do it more. I have no idea what it means but it's too cute to ignore.I love him; he's so cute!!
Puffin does that dance, too and I talk to her in that same voice!
I'd wonder if there's a correlation, but nobirdy else reacts to it.
I think you're right about it being a happy dance.
I'll play them for him and see what he thinks. I'll try to record him if something happens :ballerina:Puffin likes to dance to @Danita's Coco videos. I don't know of any dancing vasas online (yet?) but her videos might work for Java. :dance3:
He's lovely!
It's been a long time since I've heard these kinds of vocalizations.
Makes me think of Peggy.![]()
I've recently changed my username. I'm Tinta and used to own a greater vasa: Petoskey/Vinyet. Took about four years of pretty hardcore research and I even spoke to Kawaldie before deciding the greater vasa was the species for me. (edit: I don't have any parrots currently and will be getting a species much smaller and easier to find and care for in future)Thank you. You've met a Vasa before?

But wasn't active by the time I joined. She still has a site up with a lot of info and photos greater vasas in general and of her male vasa, Eve.
Peggy, though is the woman I adopted Vinyet from. She was a member here for a long time but then passed away.
