      Have you ever heard of beak wiping (on a limb or a twig) as being a form of body language with birds?

      I think it’s a body sign in mating.

      I have a Gold-Capped Conure and he rubs his beak when he is comfortable/happy. He does it as a part of his general cleaning habits and preening.
