My budgie talks to his mirror. Hormones or should I remove it?

Question

My budgie has been wanting to be with his mirror more often now. When he sees a mirror, he goes straight to it and begins to talk with it. He doesn't really want to hang out with me or my other budgie Chips. Should I take away the mirror in his cage or should I keep it? Is it because of his hormones?

Taking away the mirror and seeing how Guacamole does may help, especially if he is giving it all his attention and ignoring everything else. Hormones can play a part, however it may just be that the mirror is really fun as well! Providing other toys for stimulation and spending time together can also help keep him active and happy.
