At first I thought this was just my bird masturbating as described in one of the many books I've bought in order to help care for it.

But then it got weirder! She/he ( I have no idea) went to the corner of the cage and hung upside down with her wings and tail spread wide open. While making no noise she did this for three or four times before settling down and eating. While this happened two days ago she did it again this morning. I also thought maybe she was just stretching but I've seen her stretch before and this does not look like it.

Is your bird a Linnie?  I've read that they like to hang upside down.  I've read that they will often do that exact thing you described.  Exspecially when getting misted.
