Can anyone tell me why echo is twitching?Google is telling me it could be a partial seizure and he has random loud outbursts. He’s flying around now and has stoped twitching. I’ve noticed that he is significantly skinnier than opal even though they are around the same age. Does anyone know what this could be? I have a video but I’m not sure how to post it on here

You can link a YouTube or google video here. When does he do it, is it when he is playing, or randomly, etc?

Mine are extra hormonal this time of year, so they will occasionally "twitch" when they want something.

Their body and head will hunker down, and their wings will be held slightly out from their body and excitedly twitch, but their body isn't really involved except for the motion that's kinetically transfered from their wings.

The key tell that it's not a seizure, is that they stop if they're presented with a stimulus that distracts them from their want.

He does it randomly when he’s sitting still

Luke had a twitch for the longest time and I realized he just doesn’t like the sounds that come from my laptop. Also when he is super happy and playful he does a little head twitch. If it were a seizure I would honestly think it would be on the floor of the cage because that’s what happened before my last bird passed away.
