One of my birds always sleeps with its head twisted around and tucked into its back feathers. Looks uncomfortable.
Is this normal or a neurological sign?
Head tucked into back feathers is NORMAL sleeping position for pigeons. It conserves heat.
Neurological signs would be:
- Head twisted AND awake
- Inability to straighten neck
- Circling, loss of balance
- Star gazing (head permanently tilted back)
If she wakes up and moves normally, she’s just sleeping comfortably.
