Budgie makes a T sound

[necie]

Hello budgie lovers.  I have a new little budgie. He is a doll!  He loves to sit on my shoulder sooo, I named him Chip.  Always walking around with a Chip on my shoulder.  Ha!  Question- at times, when we are having a talk , he will make a little T sound thru his nose/cere.  I do not believe it to be a sneeze. It is made when he is showing affection. It can be just a little bit moist.  I have looked all over and can't find a reference to this sound.  I am wondering about its meaning. Any ideas? Anyone else  have a budgie who does this?

It sounds very much to me as though the bird is simply clearing his nares. I'd say you are describing a sneeze even though you don't think this is the case.

Try to get a video of the noise, as that might help with any confusion.
