possible toe tapping

Hello we purchased Gypsy about a year and a half ago she is a beautiful eclectus parrot. Her diet consists of a wet food made by Volkman It is called Featherglow Birdeez Buffet 15 minute soak n simmer. She gets that plus fresh fruit and vegies everyday plus a dried fruit crunch medley. In the last few days I noticed her toes raising and lowering and alternating from foot to foot with an occasional wing flip. She appears healthy but I am concerned there might be something going on. If you can provide any insight to this it would be appreciated.
