It can't be a universal thing for all birds, but budgies feel safer if there's some ambient noise; it indicates that there isn't a predator around that needs to be avoided. Silence means danger.

That can possibly be it. I experimented with many types of music. Anything harder than punk and they'll make themselves smaller and lower. I have mostly chill music and they'll be relaxed but less curious.

Punk seems to hit the right spot for them to be relaxed and very animated. Also Katy Perry. One day a neighbour had a party and were blasting Katy Perry all day and the momma dove was just vibin' the whole time.

We all have our guilty pleasures I suppose
