Hi, The chirping, wing flapping and shaking could all be normal behavior of an excited or nervous bird. Scooter may be trying to fly, but since his wings are clipped, he may be feeling frustrated and this flapping and vocalizing. ifbyou notice any decrease in appetite or energy, that would be cause for concern. Good luck!
