Is it just me or do baby budgies smell good?

I don't know why. There's a particular smell they have or maybe I'm just crazy.

All healthy budgies have a pleasant smell!

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

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…

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

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.

Then we're all crazy!

Nikki, my CAG, smelled like baby powder. Beautiful scent that I truly miss. Koko, my BG, has a crisp, clean smell, unless she's wet. Howard and Billy, Our BFAs smell like lilics to me. Amazon smell is my favorite.

Lilacs?! Not fair!

My cockatiel smells like a dusty chicken, but the pionus smell is intoxicating. She smells ike honey.

Koko does not have a fruity sweet smell at times? Burt smells delightful at times it is stronger than other times but oh my I love that smell so much.

Amazons smell wonderful, but my favorite was a Blue headed Pionus I fostered awhile who smelled like roses!

 

[Greylady1966]

My daughter told me Koko smells like perfume. I just don't get a strong fruity smell from her.

One of my cockatiels smells like dust, not very amazing, but it is what it is.
