Sorry I didn't do a search before I posted this. So Jack, as some of you may already know, is new to the household. It's been only a few days and he's situated himself really well. So now... he loves to sit on my shoulder and he loves to clean/nibble/play/smother his face in my hair. Whenever I put him on someone else's shoulder he likes to do a little chewy thang with their hair.
When I wear my hair in a ponytail, he likes to go directly under it like it's his little hut or something. Occasionally he hangs from it and then I forget he's even there.
When I wear my hair down, it's like his personal jungle and he likes to hide in it and hang around in there. It's kind of cute, and it tickles a little bit, but I don't like to keep him there for too long in fear of him pooping. But whenever I try to remove him, he goes anti social and doesn't want to go on my finger, or in some cases he bites. In that case, he usually comes out of my hair and only my shoulder for some period of social time, but eventually goes back in!
Anyway, is this strange behavior for a parrotlet, or is this part of a parrotlets quirky personality? Also, what kind of unique things do your parrotlets like to do?
