My sister's parakeet would do the same thing during breakfast, just go from bowl to bowl to taste everybody's food, even though we all ate the same breakfast (corn grits, but we called it birdy gravel because the parakeet ate it and it looked similar to the gravel we gave them). Cool that he can speak Japanese along with English, too, I love multilingual birds.
Also, just a minor correcting, the stuff he "pukes up" onto your fingers and toes isn't from his stomach, it's from his crop (a pre-stomach). He's just telling you that he loves you, as regurgitation is a sign of affection between birds. I hope he isn't like our conure, who eats back up what he's just regurgitated, since we don't take it, LOL.
I do love parakeets, though, even if they are gregarious and annoying birds.
Oh yeah, that's what it's called! I was being told by my dad the other day but I forgot XD
But I don't think he eats it back up (lol)...that would be strange.
I was just gonna ask a question..
So, do birds (budgies, in particular but I think it's the same either way?) have saliva? Because when he regurgitates a few seeds, there's this really strange slimy stuff that goes from his beak
ONTO MY FOOTIs that because it's mixed with water, or something?
Do they have saliva?
My dad thinks that they do, but that it's super concentrated or something. What do you guys think?

Okay, well not exactly. But I found this tiny little dictionary that was his size, and he just looked at it like he was reading it. His expresiion is just so in-depth.. XD and I had to share it with you guys~<3
