Why do Bert & Ernie tap their beaks on anything that sits still long enough like little woodpeckers? Budgie behaviour never ceases to amaze me  Sent from my HTC One X using proboards |

I am no expert but I thought that this kind of thing is part of 'displaying' behaviour - showing off what desirable specimens they are? I find mine tend to do it when they are excited generally - it can go with raising up their feathers and bobbing up and down a lot. It can be pretty loud!

Yes that's right they bob their heads up and down and shout loads whilst doing it. Funny little things.

But I would love to know what it means Im pretty sure it really has something to with excitement and courting, they do it a lot when they are breeding, my dear old George got so carried away with this behaviour when him and sky were breeding (several years ago)that he fell off his perch . Sorry George, had to tell them  . |
