ETB tail slapping

tomcovert Nov 30, 2010 11:14 AM

I was misting my female emerald and she started slapping her tail around her perch and side of the cage. She didnt seem distressed or upset (she usally nips or hisses when shes mad). I was wondering if anyone else has seen this behaviour before or why she would do it?
