Obsessive compulsive diamond dove

Here is my male diamond dove sitting on the ceiling fan banging his beak on it over and over. He does this daily for hours on end and it's pretty aggravating.

Huh.. Weird My Female Diamond Dove Reacted To This. Twice... Hm

[peacelord]

He's doing morse code. He's organizing the other birds and plotting a takeover

@EspritIsland 'Pecking' has nothing to do with frustration. It is common among male birds, and I think it is a "territorial" or 'mating' thing. My Cockatiel didn't "drum" until there was a female 'Tiel in the house. He sits on my shoulder sometimes and 'drums' away.... often throwing up and eating it again. Kinda grose, but experts say they are showin loyalty to their favorite 'flock' leader.

@sprinter136 This isn't exclusive to just doves... only male birds do this. And my Cockatiel does as well. Its some kind of 'mating' thing- or a sign of loyalty to their 'human.'

A może chciał naprawić? :) My na razie nie mamy w domu żadnych ptaków, ale od kiedy wprowadziliśmy się na nowe mieszkanie (czyli jakieś 20 kilka lat temu) przylatuje nam na balkon parka sierpówek (streptotelia decaocto - eurasian collared doves) - będzie już może trzecie albo czwarte pokolenie. Kochane z nich ptaszyska, latem jak jest balkon otwarty to ciągle nam do mieszkania włażą :)

I think pecking is a diamond dove thing, my female pecks everything (the floor, my face, my fingers, the other bird's feathers) and so did one of her siblings in the pet store

thinks its woody wood pecker

Pecking on any reflective surface for birds could be a sign of anger/frustation that the other bird on the reflection isn't responding to him or her, this isn't really a good thing emoationally for the bird : /
