hello , i’m new to this forum and don’t know much about it but oh well. i have two budgies and well as one cockatiel , max. they are all males (at least that’s what we believe). max is 8 months old. and since he started to let me pet him on his head, he has made a screechy kind of purring sound? i just wanted to know if this is normal or not? he only does it when he’s happy and i pet him.

That is a happy sound for a cockatiel. They can also give a not so happy sound, like a hiss.
