as well as puff up her feathers in ecstasy. I never did it with my nose though... at least I don't think so since I'd do it with my cheek or chin. She just loved having her beak and the area between her eyes stroked. She'd bow her head down and squinch her eyes closed like that to tell me (or anyone else!) that she wanted to be stroked like that. I really still miss her sometimes. She was such an affectionate sweet little birdie.
