It has to do with seeing themselves on the other side

Budgies like mirrors, I guess? When a budgie licks its mirror [especially while fluffing up its feathers, and/or seeming to almost purr] it probably considers its reflection another budgie, and so tries to preen it. I'm mostly guessing, though. My parakeet licks her mirror too. Answear- I think it is because they admire themselves

I'm not sure, but I think it is because they think their reflection is another bird. With budgies (and other birds), they normally preen their mates and also regurgitate food to them. Maybe when they lick the mirror, they are doing one of the two thinking the mirror is its mate.

Yes of course! Budgies love mirrors, when they see their reflection the think its another budgie friend and talk to it! I have two budgies in the room and my blue budgie,Barry, is tweeting away to it. Good luck with your birds!

yes they do, or atleast mine do. If you only have one parakeet it is nice for them to have a mirror to give them "company" but it if you have more than one it still keeps them pretty entertained, my two parakeets are always at the mirror i got them :)

Budgies aren't very smart and they think that is another bird in the mirror.
