My bird keeps flicking its head but isn't eating. Is this normal?

Question

Why is my bird flicking her head while not eating? Pet's info: Bird | Cockatiel | Female

Jessica Desrosiers · Accepted Answer

Birds can sometimes rub their beaks on stuff to relax/play with things, to wipe after eating, or just if they are interested or excited. By itself it doesn't really mean much. If Luna is showing signs of illness in addition to this, such as listless behavior, sleeping a lot, not wanting to eat or drink, or she seems disoriented, unable to perch, etc, then seeking a vet visit in person is always best.
