Budgies wag their tails?

[BirdWorld]

Sometimes when I let my budgies out they repeatedly wag their tails, and I’m wondering what that means. Am I doing something wrong?

My lovebirds do this when I get them from their cages along with wing stretches - they are getting ready to take flight

Parrots wag their tails when they're happy!

...or when they're horny, depending on which kind of tail wagging we're talking about

Burt does the tail wag when he’s excited

Lol my lovebird always wags his tail when I talk to him and when he wants attention. And yeah sorta when he's trying to do his business on a blanket. But that's a different kinda wag, haha. I've never seen a budgie do it though out of happiness.

Yep that means that they are happy!

Yea only babies do that, they grow out of it (the poop wiggle, not pooping on all your stuff )

Mine do it too, I read it was because they were happy, which would make sense because they love out of cage time, and always do it when I open the cage door.
