Lately what i think to be my male cockatiel has been actuing really strange. He kinda stoops down and flattnes all his feathers and makes this really low chirping sound. When he does this your able to do anything you want to him. Lift his wings up and scratch which he normaly HATES! and he just seems either upset or likes hes trying to get another birds attention. He also kinda sticks his behind in the air and hes doing something really strange and gross with his butt. lol. I dont know if maybe its also because i just recently bought a Conure. Im not sure i could really use some answers though! thanks

Yes, it's a mating call and birds will try to have sex with things in just that way. I've got a lovebird that prefers an old blanket. My wife and I just leave it in a corner for him and refer to it as his humpy.

Your cockatiel has probably fallen in love with your other bird. I once had one that was in love with the family dog and was constantly bothering it. It would also scream like mad when the dog left the room.

Sounds like mating call to me. A birds reproductive stimulation area is under their wings. When a bird is in the mood, he may lift his wing and rub on something...i know yuck....my bird either has gotten out of the phase or was just going through bird puberty...how old is your bird....And yes bringing another bird into the house can make him do all kinds of things.....wanting to mate may be just one of them.
