While we don't know about your bird's history, health, or living conditions, many birds (as well as other species) will playfully nip at another of their species. In general, this behavior is about establishing dominance, although it can also be a sign of insecurity. Under normal circumstances, it doesn't hurt the other bird, and it shouldn't draw blood. If you find the behavior unpleasant, feel free to use positive reinforcement to teach the bird not to do it; if the bird is biting at you, it is especially important that you set boundaries, rewarding the bird for appropriate behavior. Of course, if your bird is going beyond occasionally nipping and instead trying to claw or injure, then that is not normal behavior for a budgie (parakeet), and you should probably consult your veterinarian to discuss what might be causing it.

Do blue budgies play more than green ones?
No. A color of a budgie has nothing to do with the way they play but if you had a boy and a girl budgie, the boy would be more easier to teach and more playful as the female budgie tends to bite a lot harder than the male budgie I have over 20 budgies and I got to say the male budgie gets along with each better than the female budgies who will fight for space Ihope this answers your Question.
