If you have been with your feathered friends for so long, you might notice that sometimes they produce different sounds.
These sounds are actually their ways to communicate with you, so it’s equally important to know what they want to say.
The sounds they produce may vary: talking, chirping, even the sound of clicking their beaks!
Why Do Budgies Click Their Beak?
Many budgie owners become alarmed or worried whenever they hear their lovely parakeets clicking their beaks.
These clicking sounds often sound similar to stones that are tapping against each other.
Sometimes you might even hear these sounds along with their chirps and chatter.
Parakeets click their beaks by simply rubbing their top and bottom beaks together.
This action produces loud and shrill clicking sounds.
Sometimes, your budgies can be seen perched while having ruffled feathers whenever they click their beaks.
Depending on the size of the parakeets, some may produce loud noises or almost silent and deafening clicks.
But what does it really mean when budgies click their beaks?
Budgies click their beaks whenever they feel happy and content.
In contrast to most of the owners’ interpretations, clicking beak sounds are happy sounds.
They are their ways of sending you messages like they are happy, excited to see you, and even want to spend time with you.
Aside from being happy, your parakeets may click their beaks whenever they feel comfortable in the environment they are in, such as your home.
Have you also experienced that your parakeets click their beaks when you walk in the door?
Making these clicking noises are signs that they are sending you a friendly greeting as well.
Hence, whenever you see your lovely birds clicking their beaks at you, you should know that it is a good sign.
It only means that they are just happy and content.
You might also think that maybe something is stuck inside their mouth, but the truth is, it could also mean they are just adjusting their beaks.
Can You Stop a Budgie Clicking Their Beak?
As worrying it may be to hear your budgies clicking their beaks, it is perfectly normal for them.
So, there is probably no reason for you to stop your parakeets from clicking their beaks.
You should remain calm whenever you see or hear them do these noises.
However, if you begin to notice that your budgies’ beaks appear to have bleeding or chipped, you should go and consult a veterinarian immediately.
Birds in general, including budgies, would have a very hard time living if their beaks are damaged.
Their beaks are something akin to humans’ hands.
All birds like parakeets use their beaks on a day-to-day basis, so if you see that they are to have damaged beaks, you must give them extra special care following your veterinarian’s orders.
