please stop posting in caps....

does he have white spots on his body?

 

[STEVIE00]

no he doesnt he only did it for about 5mins then stopped

 

[yvez9]

then i wouldn't worry about it too much unless he starts doing it all the time

fish have weird behaviors sometimes.
Probably he was just itchy and rubbing himself against a rock made it all better for him

 

[fufanu360]

it could be because its died, and is trying to rub the die off

 

[black angel]

have you tested the water. sometimes the water chemistry isnt right or maybe he has a parasite.

Not all parrots are dyed you know.. ((its also spelt DYED not DIED))

Like the others have said check your water parameters, you might also have a parasite. Any abnormalities on his body like fuzz or anything like that?

Could he not just be a bit horny? My cichlids do that all the time and a few days later there are females with eggs! I think it would either be that or a bit of stress. How big is the tank and what else do you have in there?

Might be cleaning the log or somthing else getting ready to lay eggs, or its just itchy.

mine rubbed itself against a rock for about a week then stopped so i wouldn't worry

I recall my parrot itching for a couple of days, here and there.........then......NOTHING!!!

He was fine
