Continuous, frantic head weaving or bobbing often signals severe boredom or stress.
In the words of behaviorist Dr. Irene Pepperberg (famous for her work with Alex the African Grey): “A parrot’s silence is rarely peace. Often, it is a scream trapped inside a feather.”
However, a parrot feels deep emotions. When a parrot is in distress, it cries with its entire body. Parrot Cries with Its Body
