My budgies are kissing a lot. Is this normal bonding behavior?

Question

We introduced our two budgies and they mouthed each other for a long time. Normally one of the budgies is aggressive and bites the others feet, but we tried again today and they just seem to kiss for. Really long time? Is this good behaviour?

Yes! This is good behavior. They are bonding. When birds become good friends, they will tap their beaks together in a kind of ‘budgie kiss’, and will preen each other’s face and head. There is nothing to worry about here. Best wishes.
