Sarabi being cuddled.
How does your parrot let you know when it is in a cuddle mood? Sarabi usually starts by pacing back and forth on her perch, saying "It's Saraaaabi" and "Tiiiickle, tickle, wanna tiiickle!" Then she lowers her head and puffs up her feathers, just waiting to be head scratched and given a hug. When she receives her hug she sometimes makes kissing-sounds, just like I do to her, and if she's really in a cuddle mood she sticks to my hand like a suction cup. It certainly is very difficult to resist her charms, so when she wants a cuddle she gets it!
