so i gave in and gave her some Higgins sunburst seed/treats..and he ate it really well. A few minutes ago I heard this weird noise that I swear sounds like my sister when she grinds her teeth in her sleep..it really scared me..he looked all puffed up and I thought maybe he was having needing water or something..it sounds really loud..so I looked this up in the search..
So this is a contented reaction? It really scared me..i feel like a new mother lol I guess I am..

When content, my budgies go from sleek little parrots to puffy, fat-looking men and grind their beaks! It's very cute, but if you don't know anything about birds it can seem weird!

I have a budgie, and maybe he does it very quietly..ive never heard that.
But the quaker does indeed puff himself all out and loudly grinds
