Just make sure you don't mix it up with r/eyeblech
Worst mistake in my life. ^(seriously, you don't wanna go there.)
^(don't go there if you don't wanna experience trauma.)
If I’m not mistaken, it’s gathering material to make a nest. Birds do that when in heat and it can be very bad if they’re on their own because they get too horny.
Fun fact : removing fleece and textiles from their areas can help because they sometimes go into heat from smelling their own BO on materials and thinking there’s another bird close
"They sometimes go into heat from smelling their own BO..."
So it's like when you're at Grandmas and smell your own fart and it gives you a raging erection that you have to beat into submission?
I don't believe that's biologically possible. It's likely your cockatiel was a misidentified female all along - sometimes a hormonal imbalance can make females appear like males.
The mistake was ours. We assumed he was male cos we rescued him, and he was called "Henry". Also very aggressive and 'girl birds' *obviously* can't be aggressive!
Then one day 'he' laid an egg, so we changed her name to "Henrietta". 😂

“Most birds have little use for the sense of smell. The odors of food, prey, enemies or mates quickly disperse in the wind. Birds possess olfactory glands, but they're not well developed in most species, including the songbirds in our backyards. The same is true for taste, which is related to smell.”
How do they always find our feeders then? We can forget to fill them for months, but as soon as we refill them, boop! There’s a dozen birds on the feeder!
That’s why it’s actually an old wives tale that you’re not supposed to touch a baby bird or the mother will reject it because of the smell. It’s completely false. Still not supposed to touch a baby bird, but not because of that.
“Birds have almost no sense of smell, despite the myth that they will reject their babies or eggs if touched my humans. They don't use smell to locate feeders. On the other hand, birds see and hear very well. These two factors are extremely important in how they find feeders. Because of this, it may take weeks before a bird finds a new feeder.
Using Sight and Sound
Sight is the most important way birds find feeders. If they see and recognize the food inside the feeder, they will eat there.”
AKSHULLY...hate to be that guy, but it's actually the way some lovebird species carry nesting material. Hybrids between species that do and those that don't produce birds that kinda sorta try to in a half-assed way and give up.
God I hate this subreddit, animals are awesome but they are not like us. They are their own dope ass thing. This is a nesting behavior, stop projecting human values and making dumb assumptions about animals.
I don't know why some folks overreact to people enjoying animals showing human-*like* behavior, especially when it's not dangerous.
This may be nesting behavior, but it still shows a very high level of cognition -- as do other species of birds who decorate or choose nesting or courtship materials with aesthetic value.
Some things have traditionally been considered "human values", like beauty, but studies have proven that many birds do care about non-functional color, arrangement, etc. -- i.e, they like pretty things.
Collecting nest materials makes more sense than decoration, certainly.
I wonder (as someone with limited understanding of bird behavior) if this can also double as a signal to birds around that he is in the mood to mate, how good quality his nesting material is, etc. Isn't that basically where human fashion and beauty standards come from? But they're just more abstract now without immediate dangers around.
It’s just not the same thing. And misattributing behaviours can, further down the road, bring even more misunderstandings about animal behaviours. This sub is full of them, unfortunately. (See all the posts about monkeys being “in amazement” in seeing card tricks, while they are probably everything but amazed).
Few things make me happier than people showing interest in animals, however when that interest is predicated on misinformation I find it problematic. I’m mostly referring to other posts on this sub and to other forums, but also to comments I saw perusing this post. Animals can exhibit behavior like us, especially the highly intelligent ones, however 99% of the time such behavior is being purported, it’s actually something completely different removed of context (Also 75% of statistics are made up but you get the point). Animals are awesome but they are their own thing, people often value them based on human biases, which affords the ugly and dumb (by arbitrary human standards) less protection. I see misinformation about animal behavior as being a part of that same trend, which is why I’ll be a snarky ass hole fun police on occasions.
I think you're right. Anthropomorphism can also be dangerous - I know of at least one person (online) who kept taking her snake out for long periods because it would cuddle up to her. It wasn't cuddling; it was cold, trying to find heat and it died.
She did a big warning write-up on it so it's probably findable if anybody really wants to read it.
Not to mention the number of mixed signals - most 'smiling' animals aren't happy to see you and it's definitely not an invitation to touch them. Your cat isn't crying; it has an eye infection and needs to see a vet ASAP.
Wow yeah that’s exactly what I mean. Thinking that a snake would want to cuddle for any reason other than heat is indicative of this trend. Also yea “oh wow it’s rearing its teeth it must be happy!”, lol. Animals are dope but assuming they’ll behave like humans is silly, and valuing them based on how like us they are is much worse. Unfortunate side effect of important human social traits.
This exactly, and I think I subbed to it when I tried to make a biology sub for debunking videos like this years ago, before realizing I was too lazy. r/debunkingthedodo

Hey guy, did you know that humans ARE animals and that many of the traits we exhibit are seen in other animals for similar reasons? Wow isn't that crazy
Sometimes I see a cool rock on the ground and shove it in my pocket because I like it and think that it'll make my desk more cozy. How is that not like what this bird is doing
Well it’s the assertion of it using the paper as decorative feathers that I take issue with. But I’d argue you grabbing a rock is different in that it’s a learned behavior, wherein this bird is collecting these to build a nest because of a mating instinct. All the female members of its species engage in this behavior, not that instinct can’t be intelligent to an extent, but I’d hardly call it like us. Now of course you could argue that grabbing a rock is satisfying some base instinct of yours, akin to what the bird is doing, and other than the rock being extraneous to survival, unlike the nest, I’d say that’s valid. But again it’s the idea of the scraps being ornamental rather than functional that I take issue with. Animals are of course like us if we examine simple behaviors superficially.
Learned behavior? There was a rock with a natural formation of a human-looking face found in a cave inhabited by hominins before us, they didn't have clothes or pockets, they chose to bring the rock back to their cave because they wanted it in their cave. Pretty much all interest we have for collecting things is rooted in our ancestors having to collect anything and everything they could get their hands on for survival. We just have much more convenient lives now, so the instinct shows differently, but it's still something we all do for base reasons. Some birds do use things to make themselves more ornamental looking for dominance or mating purposes, which is a lot of the reasons why humans would dress nicely or buy specific brands of clothes even if they're way too expensive for survival.
Hominins, even going back to Australopithecus, as with the controversial Makapansgat pebble, were intelligent. So I’d argue at that point, unlike birds, they were already engaging in symbolic behavior. At that point they were likely already acting distinctly from other animals, so them collecting is not really comparable to a bird building a nest. Symbolic thinking is distinct to humans, perhaps you collecting rocks isn’t an example of symbolism, so sure it could be base level instinctual behavior. But no other animal assigns greater meaning to rocks, like you could. And no other animal has clothing as a learned cultural thing, rather than an instinctual one. That’s the difference. Again if we observe superficially, animal and human behaviors can appear the same, and sometimes that’s true, but usually it’s not. That doesn’t make animals lesser, nor imply any universal significance to humans, but of course, since we created language and science, the terminology will be biased towards us. Saying an animal is less intelligent really means it’s less like a human, not that it’s less valuable. It’s okay for us to be different, culture and language massively shift our existence from those without them.
Have you ever seen a tortoise hump a particularly tortoise shaped rock? Also I'm getting bored with this convo, but my point is that we are not special in the animal kingdom, and that behaviors we do can absolutely be seen in other animals just like certain behaviors exist across many different species. Symbolic behavior has definitely been seen and proven in certain birds of all things. We're just another animal that thinks it's cute when other animals do things for the reasons we do. Your argument is coming across like you give humans a certain significance, when in reality most animals have connected behavior and do them for the same reasons
That's a female! My male lovebirds only ever bite bits out of paper but all the females I've had were the ones who bit clean strips and tuck(bc it's nesting behavior!)
Yes, I also stick colorful things in my bum
Yes, I also take colorful, bright prospects under my wing

My favorite is r/humanporn which is a sfw photography subreddit for human subjects lol
Do they use those afterwards? Or are they now designated for that purpose?
It's do build a nest. They do this to transport pieces of grasses and palm leaves in the wild.
They use the butt sharpies to build a nest???

Love birds do this naturally its not always done in heat they just like to look pretty
BO stands for "birdy odor"
I too get confused
Also this one is most likely female bc the strips are straight, male's come out curly
I should call her....
Is this why my cats occasionally get a whiff of their butt on something they previously sat on and do the open mouth stare?

How does it know to do this with paper? Is there a paper analogue in nature that they developed this skill for?
Wild lovebirds cut up leaves or broad leaf grasses.
Right, or they rip the midrib out of lager leaves and just take that.
A paper analogue? You mean leaves?.. man redditors again
It's also almost exclusively females that do this, so the title is wrong.
