Learn how budgies, also called parakeets, show their love by giving kisses. A fun and easy explanation for young kids about these colorful little birds and their special ways to show affection.
Budgies are small, colorful birds that lots of people like to have as pets. Did you know that when budgies love each other, they sometimes give kisses? Let me tell you how that works!
A budgie kiss isn’t like a kiss from a person. Instead, when a budgie loves someone, it will gently touch their beak to that person’s skin, like their finger or cheek. This is how budgies say, “I like you!” or “You are my friend!”
Budgies kiss to show they care and feel safe. They also like to preen each other’s feathers, which means they clean and straighten them to help each other look nice. Kissing is a little like their way of hugging.
So, if a budgie gives you a gentle little kiss, it's their way of showing love and friendship! Isn't that sweet?
