The best view of a parrot kissing his wife

Despite not having any lips to pucker, parrots absolutely love to dole out “kisses” to their favorite people. Owners report various techniques parrots use to plant a loving kiss on their human.

Parrot kisses usually consist of the bird putting its beak against your face, often around your cheeks or lips. This can be accompanied by your bird gently nibbling you. Some parrots even stick out their tongues and lick their owners during a kiss.

A bird smooch usually comes with a typical kiss sound they learn from us.

Also, this very human-like behavior is not exclusive to us humans. Birds show affection to one another by kissing their flock mates. This action is learned as a baby when a mother bird has beak to beak contact with its baby to feed it.

Birds keep this behavior with them throughout their lives to help solidify bonds with other birds.
