Masturbation: Hati-hati kalau burung Anda…

If you notice your bird rubbing his vent against a favorite toy or against your hand, he’s working off his sexual frustration.

You can curb your bird’s behavior by removing the toy that is the object of his affections. You can also allow your bird to burn off excess energy by exercising outside his cage, such as by climbing, flap-ping, or chasing a toy that you’re dragging across the floor.

You may also need to change the way you handle your bird during breeding season. Don’t rub a bird’s lower back or under his wings during this time because you may trigger a breeding response.

In many cases, these signals do not cause any harm to bird or owner, but if your bird becomes aggressive during breeding season, be careful about how you handle him during this time. (Abgroburung.Com/Source: Why Doed Bird Do That? By JULIE RACH MANCINI).
