Has anyone ever noticed?

This morning I was up early checking on my buttons. I have 13, 3/4 grown chicks in a cage and I was sitting there watching them.

They all started to walk backwards at the same time and then they pooed!

I thought it was so funny. They looked like they were doing the moon dance together.

my cockatiels walk backwards when they are about to poo
that's how I know it's time for them to stop sitting on me

lol yea Martha, mine do it too, both the chicks and adults!
I'ive considered calling one Jacko, coz he does the moonwalk so much

My daughter and I always get a laugh out of seeing ducklings trying to poop for the first time. We once watched one little guy walk backward about 50cm before he managed poop.
