My sooky boy Raz snuggling up for kisses from his mummy (and to think I was once worried he would never be interested in hanging out with me after getting Nemo).

Raz is such a sweet boy! My budgie Leonel loves kisses too!

Thanks . I just love how he leans his head against my lips for kisses! He also pecks me if I don't give him kisses or he gets impatient and kisses my cheek or head repeatedly since I'm not giving him kisses . He's so silly. It continues to amaze me how clever they are and what they learn from us .

Awww that's lovely
Can't wait to get kisses off my baby

It's the nicest feeling when they want to cuddle up, so cute

Aww what a good boy!! He is so cute I just want to give him kisses too!

Lovely to see how close the bond is there, but you should be careful as human saliva is harmful to budgies.

I'm GLAD you mentioned that, Eamon .... I only leaned that the other day after watching one of Dr. Ross Perrys videos! I did not realise how sick I could have made Mista

The following video link is one we should ALL watch .... Dr Ross Perry is given a thank you for his help and guidance bringing a budgie with a severe coliform infection back from the brink of death to health and wellness - because of a little girl kissing her budgie - the human saliva can make birds very ill.

I only mention it because it is also something I recently learned and I do not want to offend anyone - it is only for the well being of your budgies that I posted it.

Apparently, even a very clean human mouth is full of budgie unfriendly bacteria.

OH DEAR! REALLY

I didn't know that ... well I'm not slobbering on him, and he seems fine... great no more kissing Razzi. LOL I have a feeling he's going to be unhappy about that. I think he just loves getting attention from me . If I don't kiss him or talk to him he gives me light pecks on my cheek, probably reminding me that he's there! HELLO! I should be paying attention to everything he does! :laughing:

Raz is such a cutie-pie and definitely a snuggler.

I did not know either, and I seriously freaked when I saw what Dr Perry had to say about it, so I did more research and found out the danger to budgies from doing it - I didn't slobber on mine either - but apparently it only takes a miniscule amount to cause problems. He's allowed to kiss my cheek, but I do not put my mouth anywhere near him. I do hum for him and he leans on my cheek, which is okay.

It scares me to think I could have seriously harmed him!
