Tail wagging
Does anybody know what it means when Luna is wagging her tail?
If when looking at the bird its on a perch facing you, and the tail goes side to side a few brisk times, then thats a sign a joy generally.
My pet IRN often does it after a big sleepy preening session, or does it after a vigerous play.
The only other time they really do this is (rarely from my birds) when they do poops, technically shortly after.
So yeah, if its like that its a good thing
If the bird is "fanning" its tail... ie: spreading its tail feathers out and slowly moving it side to side, you have a very grumpy bird.
EDIT: my little sunnie bub in the aviary does the wag, and nearly shoot himself from the perch doing it... quite funny.

Smokey wags his tail after a bath, have to move or you get wet too 
. The other times are the same as what Fah said, when waking, after a play and sometimes after a poo. Sometimes he will do it when he has accomplished something eg climbs somewhere he knows he shouldn't be . It's like he is really proud of himself.
