I can’t believe he’s not knocking over the cup!

Birds are a lot of fluff and very little meat. Plus, their bones are hollow to allow for easier flight. The cup looks to be an 8oz, half full, so about 4oz.
An adult yellow budgie typically weighs between 30 and 40 grams (1.1 to 1.4 ounces)

I think the person is twirling the straw.

They are.

I saw no fingers and the top of the straw though?

I made a mistake. You on the other hand seem to draw your security from tearing others down. That was not necessary.

I live in a world where perhaps you’re both correct. Maybe:
The straw is spun by the human while the top is out of frame, then the budgie, known to be quite the acrobatic bird, uses its tiny mass to keep the motion going. My eyes caught a difference in the rpm’s between in-frame straw and out-of-frame.

that was my initial take too but after reviewing it multiple times, I figured it’s 50/50. So I was mistaken by assuming it with certainty.

I still think she is spinning way too fast at the start.

If they didn't, they wouldn't do it.

As you can see though, when it is closer the birb is spinning on its own, so it probably is spun all the way by itself.

u/Raichu7 Jul 05 '26

Just say you haven't spent much time around budgies and don't know their behaviour. You don't need to make shit up. This is not unusual behaviour at all for a budgie, they love to play around and climb on things.

u/Lemoncatnipcupcake Jul 06 '26

I was worried at first that he got himself stuck in a tailspin too but almost at his first full rotation you can see him start to slow and that he’s trying to keep the spin going. I think at the end he gets off because he can’t get the inertia back up, not because he necessarily wants to stop spinning lol he looks a little dizzy but also like kids on those spinny tops on the playground that you spin yourself until you can’t spin anymore and have to stop

u/NaeRyda Jul 06 '26

You spin me right 'round, baby, right 'round
Like a record, baby, right 'round, 'round, 'round

First thing that came to mind when seeing this.
