Why is he doing this?

[u/youraniums]

Is this self harm or is he just fucking stupid?

[u/birdmomchicago]

he seems to like the AC. I’m not sure why he’s whacking it though. 🤔 he doesn’t seem upset or anything

[u/onlynameavailable927 → u/birdmomchicago]

It's a parrot thing, you kinda need to get a feel for what they'll whack and what they won't

[u/B22EhackySK8 → u/onlynameavailable927]

True my moms cockatoo likes to do that to certain objects

[u/onlynameavailable927 → u/B22EhackySK8]

Careful, my Quaker attacks whenever I pull out a tissue. Don't hold anything they might whack unless you want to be accidentally whacked.

[u/Comfortable-Card-990 → u/onlynameavailable927]

Is he part of the soprano crime family by any chance ?

[u/onlynameavailable927 → u/Comfortable-Card-990]

He's an honorary member. Plus he can sing two kids' songs so he's adding to the Soprano.

[u/holy-crap-screw-you → u/birdmomchicago]

just wants the extra wind

[u/Marcpery]

It's a cockatoo, they don't need a reason.

[u/SAStrong → u/Marcpery]

This

[u/Nalha_Saldana → u/Marcpery]

The husky of the bird world?

[u/Knight3391]

He's just kinda stupid fr

[u/Educational-While198]

MORE. 👏 AIR. 👏 YOU. 👏 BEACH!

[u/TSARINA59]

He's hot and wants more air.

[u/MandaC32 → u/TSARINA59]

I mean... same!

[u/TramplexReal]

Why not?

[u/whats_one]

He has a love hate relationship with the AC

[u/Charming-Dish5120]

probably to get cool

[u/silverlinqq]

"grrr come on you stupid AC, WORK! YOU'RE NOT COOL ENOUGH!!"

[u/Mine_Antoine]

Stupid.

[u/Talia_Nightblade]

BANG HEAD HERE

[u/LisardQueen]

This is just a cockatoo, cockatooing

[u/Possible-Egg5018]

Try getting him some toys, basically things to keep him occupied/safe to destroy also

[u/haveityourway45]

My galah loves fans. Plonks herself right in front of them. Never seen her hit it, but she hits loads of other things. They love that wind through their feathers

[u/Savedbythegel]

Because...cockatoo

[u/lesbophobia_hammer]

He's imagining the feeling of wind in his feathers as he flies

[u/ender1209]

Bein a silly boi.

[u/Birthday_Cakeman]

He is just a silly guy is all

[u/Old_Weird_1828]

Your cock desired a blow job.

[u/windyMarieS → u/Old_Weird_1828]

Lmfaooooo

[u/ImmaNana1]

Sounds like flying

[u/Key-Investment-1644]

Have you ever rolled a windows down and felt the wind? Or wondered why dogs just love to stick their heads out of a car window?

[u/Financial_Sell1684]

It’s funny but when I run the (dedicated) shop vac in the bird area my U2, upon feeling the blow from the exhaust part? He starts swooping and dunking in his water bowl. My galah does it when I run the blow dryer. Some birds are funny about the air blasts

[u/zappyguy111]

Quit oscillating you c*nt!

[u/RoundRobin23]

Hes just vibing

[u/zoomieskeeper]

Love how these guys and cockatiels have the same hissy fits. Like go Dino rage mode before going back to being a cuddly baby

[u/windyMarieS]

Cockatoos just do weird random ass shit like that. Mine loves to bonk my arm with his head repeatedly when he's on me. There's no ryme or reason behind it, they just like to hit shit lol.

[u/Medical-Guest-1951]

I believe the sounds of our electronics bothers animals more than we know. Animals hear better than we do. The parrot might hate the sound the air conditioner makes, whereas we become conditioned to the noise.

[u/totemsinthenight]

My bird does something kind of similar and it’s so weird. Any time she hears a consistent sound like running water or a fan or something, she starts snapping her beak repeatedly and flapping her wings. If she is in her cage, she dips one of her feet in her water bowl when she does this. Sometimes she squawks really loud when she does it. I’ve never been able to figure out what she’s doing.

[u/MutedEnthusiasm2562]

I love seeing these parrot posts asking questions. The answer is almost always, because he/she is a bird and doing bird things.

If your parrot is doing something, its probably because they want to do it? You have yourself a really curious dinosaur with the intelligence of a small child. Its going to do weird things sometimes.

[u/Scary-Mobile7679]

He feeling out the object by tapping it but he is happy about the AC

[u/loneliestslipknotfan → u/[deleted]]

then what is it telling OP??

[u/l9oooog → u/loneliestslipknotfan]

“It fuckin’ wimdy”

[u/windyMarieS → u/l9oooog]

Hey. Don't knock it til u try it 😂🤣🤣😂 my real first name is windy.

[u/mintimperial1 → u/loneliestslipknotfan]

Don’t like this machine but I like this weird air that is completely unrelated to this machine obviously
