What does this behavior mean?

Lately, Nugget will be sitting on my shoulder and turn and push her beak into the side of my face. It's the top of her beak. Or she'll be under my chin and push her beak into my chin. It's definitely not a nibbling or mouthing behavior - and it's quite endearing. I just wondered what she might be trying to tell me.

Anyone else's lovies do this? Is this a behavior lovies do with each other?

It is just an affectionate gesture. It is very sweet. Sounds like a darling bird.

My Velvet does the same thing. I know lovies like their beaks rubbed. Maybe they're trying to give us a hint? :lol:

She's super sweet, but boy does she get MAD when it's bedtime. She paces the bottom of her cage by the door and she has to stretch her neck up to see me over the lip of the cage - so you have this yellow blur going back and forth with an occasional stretch of the neck to see if I'm still there.

Silly bird - if you'd get on a perch you could see I'm just four feet from you. Yes, mommy knows that you want to be out with her, but mommy has to go to sleep, sweet Nugget!

I was thinking Beep was unique for that for a while. He's taken to doing that lately, but he also has a huge fascination with shirt collars. While he does the love bumps he sometimes nips my neck. I don't mind love bumps but those little nips hurt like the dickens!
