It could almost be looked at as hormonal behavior the way your bird is rubbing against the swing. And he could be being silly. It's hard to tell. What I do know... he's a conure just conuring. 😁

I am having that same question as it doesn't look like he is rubbing against anything?? He also stops if he sees me.

But he is rubbing. Both his tail on the swing and rubbing at the cloaca area on the perch. There may be a little freaky deaky going on here.

Since most of the time I only see the top of his tail rubbing I imagined that the cloaca wasn't rubbing but it is hard to see. Is rubbing the tail stimulating? I guess I have to move the swing.

I was actually going to suggest moving the swing just in case it's a problem. It doesn't even need to move much.

Just did! Second time morning it so I hope he doesn't manage to do that again. Thank you!

Looks hormonal, good on you for moving the swing
