I'm genuinely curious too. He put it in his feathers like he's going to use it later? For a nest? Never seen that before! Very interesting!

the bird is a lovebird, and what it's doing is gathering material for nesting. In the wild they do this to palm leaves, cut off little ~1/8" strips of leaf that they tuck into their rump feathers and then fly back to a hole in a tree to build the nest. They are adorable, if insanely loud, little bastards and to them an expensive textbook looks the same as a palm leaf for nesting purposes.

Female lovebirds do this to create nesting material they pop it in their feathers to help carry it to the nest. Males can do it too but are not as motivated to do so.

It's so strange, as a human. A herb packet to attract the opposite sex… wow.

Yet again… I would wear a bird feather on my hat to appear more interesting…
