Lately i started to notice that our female budgie Piphans is very
interrested in my fingers.
She also likes my nose alot since she bumps her beak against my nose and also gives me small kisses. I can even scratch her head with my nose. So thats how we "speak and play" together.
But if she watches me touching my nose with my fingers or pick my nose or scratch my nose with my fingers. Then she starts to squark at me..like she gets angry or mad.
When i hold my finger in front of her beak, then she kisses it and makes cute noises that i teached her to say.
Its just strange to me what it means, when she "scold me" for touching my own nose
What does it mean ?

Interesting!
There's a theory that your face and your hands, as far as budgies are concerned, are three separate creatures, and are not parts of a single "you". If that's true, then Piphans (who is very cute) is jealous. She doesn't want those hands playing with her favourite nose. The theory may or may not be accurate but it would explain a few things.

That sounds funny But it feels like ur right. I was wondering if she thinks my fingers are a bird and my nose as another bird. But it must be some kind of jealous. Piphans is very cute and dosent make any mischief. She is a well behaved bird

My previous budgie learnt to ‘kiss’ my nose but I honestly can’t see the boys doing it !

My mother is so envy on us, that she also tryed to put her nose close to Piphans. But that dident go so well...Piphans only bites or ignores my mother.
There are some days where Piphans will sit on her shoulder but only to chew on her ear rings. But when my mother eats dinner then piphans jumps up on the plate and taste her food.
Last day Piphans wanted to chew on my mothers toe while she was wearing flip flops. She told me it hurts alot but i dident believe her, So i tryed to but my mothers flip flops on and let piphans
land on em so she could chew on my toe for the experience and the pain was real Even 20 mins later i could still feel the pain.
What a strenght piphans have in that beak. But still she wants her carrot shreddet.

Perhaps we can use budgies to interrogate people "Tell me where you where last night or else the toe biting starts hehe"
