Loki smells like caramel today

Hello! It's been a while since I've been here but Loki is doing well so far and seems to like us more and more each day! She normally smells slightly musty, like a wet bird but much milder, and her musk gets stronger after taking a bath. I'm not so fond of that wet bird smell but I suppose it's normal?

And then today she was just sitting on my shoulder when I caught a whiff of caramel! I thought it was my mom cooking something in the kitchen, but she wasn't. I took another couple of sniffs of Loki, and concluded that the delicious caramel smell is indeed coming from her. Lol.

Anyone else's lovebirds also smell like that (or others)?

Has she eaten or gotten into something that would make her smell different? In humans, there are metabolic disorders that present with particular odors (for instance, maple syrup urine disease, or sweet smelling urine with diabetes). If you don't hear from others that this is scent is normal, I'd look into this further with an experienced vet.

@Fia Baby no i dont think so. I realised she could have had some sweet smells rubbed off on her feathers from a box I let her play with, which used to store packets of dried sour plums... today she did not play with it and the smell is not there again haha...
