Is it just me or do baby budgies smell good?

I feel like different people are more sensitive to certain parrots’ smells :roflmao:

I have seen people say all different kinds of birds have a strong pleasant smell. For me, I swear I can smell B&G macaws from a mile away… :hilarious:

I thought maybe they just have a strong smell in general, but my mom and grandma who are usually with me say they don’t notice it at all :huh:

As far as I am concerned, Blue and golds have the best smell by far.

It seems that amazons and macaws tend to get the most votes for best smelling birds but all bird owners seem to find their birds scent pleasant. I personally am not keen on the budgie smell (powdery is how I feel about their scent, similar to cockatiels and cockies) but I also do not find it offensive.
