I have one that does that. It will be going forward, then reverse whiile t slowlyy shakes its head back and forth. Very strange and I only see the one doing it. No idea what's up. Seems healthy otherwise.

My Quail babes are doing the same thing.....cracks me up !! At first I thought there was really something wrong with them.......but after watching them for a few days, I realized it happens mostly after they've been dusting themselves.........I've provided them with a VERY fine sand/grit mixture, and I think it might be too fine......they jump out of the duster and start in going backwards almost immediately!! Maybe trying to get the exta sand off ?? Or getting up in their lil bums ?? I have video.....will work on figuring out how to post it here............. =)
