Digging

Parrots, like many other cichlids, like to move pebbles and dig in their gravel. They are somewhat less likely to build with the pebbles than other cichlds, because their mouths aren't as suited to picking up objects.
My parrots [like most parrots] absolutely love to dig in the sand. I find myself re-"planting" the fake plants in the tank about once a week! One of my parrots has to dig out all of the sand in his territory. You may ask, "Why?", and to tell you the truth; I have no idea. It's just something that he enjoys doing, and not something you should necessarily be worried about. Digging is a rather normal behavior for most fish.
