Mating Season?
My Lutino Ringneck, Paddy has recently started doing some funny things! I've heard he does them because it's mating season. He pins his eyes so they are really small and pulls his wings away from his body and pulls his head right back. Then he 'headbangs', he bobs his head up and down for a while then repeats the process. Any advice?

Is your bird a male?
That sounds exactly like male parrot courtship behavior. I'm not very into the subject but have many other owners who've had this happen to their birds, and their vets say its, courtship behavior.
If you have a female, he's probably "in love" with her, and you're to expect quite a few baby chicks soon!
If you don't have another bird (ringneck that is) then your bird might be "in love" with you! Strange as it seems, Kiki does this to me as well!
This is from what i've heard of "courtship behavior" though, and i'm not too much into the subject, so I could be wrong.
