My Dolce did that. He would snuggle up under my braid and try to preen my hair. He’d butt his head into the back of my ear if he wanted scritches.

*Sigh* I miss him.

Birdie fans, did you see the sad news that Alex the famous African grey parrot died? He was the parrot with the super-vocabulary and mad semantic skillz. A big PBS star.

My late budgie would snuggle in my neck every night and give me gentle little nips until I sang him a lullabye. Then he would sort of chatter to himself, very softly, until he fell asleep, just nonsense words all strung together with little trills that sounded very much like purring.

Anyone protesting about a birdie nesting on a neck is nothing but a nape-sayer.

Awww… Bird snorgles are so great! I used to parrot-sit for a friend of the family, and I got along really well with Julio/-a (still don’t know if it’s male or female). He would do the neck nuzzle every so often and it was sooo tickly. Then he would do a little mating ritual, which wasn’t so cute.

Maybe he was male… (though he did the mating ritual with my boyfriend too…hmmm…)

My best friend’s lovebird does this, and I took pics last time I was there:

About birds purring? When I was growing up we had a green parrot named Arthur. If I scratched him on his head, he would TOTALLY purr. For reals.
