tail shaking slightly

Is it normal for their tail to shake slightly sometimes when they perch?

Is it more like a 'waggle'? Because I have read this can mean 'Give me space or leave me alone'. Have you tried handling after the tail shake? Because I know not to touch Jibby when he shakes his tail. He gets very grumpy!

it bobs up and down a bit. Not always, just sometimes. I went to the pet shop today and noticed some of the other birds were doing it too.

Our Budgies and Hubert do this when they're calm and it's cold :wink:

Hope to help!

Thanks maybe cos it's winter.

I went to the pet store and saw most of their IRN doing this too. I'm not worried now.

Thank you
