Food regurgitation

If you have a couple of budgies, you might see one approach the other and lock beaks with it. This is how budgie couples feed each other. Also, this is how the female budgie feeds her babies. If your budgie is regurgitating food for you, you can be sure it means that your budgie loves you! It's one of the best compliments you can get from your feathered friends :)

Note: don't confuse food regurgitation with vomiting! Vomiting is an uncontrollable process and your budgie will keep doing it, while leaving stains on their feathers and cage floor. If you notice this, you have to go to the vet immediately!
