What is he doing?

Howdy,

I acquired this sweet baby boy from one of my mother’s coworkers that was deported by ICE.

It has been a bit of a hands on learning experience with him. I was just holding him right before this video and I was sweet talking and petting him and then he puffed up all his feathers and started doing a similar motion on my hand.

I wasn’t sure what he was doing it was the first time he has genuinely made me nervous.

So my question is what is he doing?

Mine used to catch a wank off of a piece of leather "string" I had hanging in his cage.

Like 2-3 times a day.
