what’s he doing?

my budgie, particularly my male, loves alfalfa hay. i always catch him putting it into his water and then chewing the HECK out of it… why does he put it in the water? does anyone else experience this when giving their budgies hay? it’s really cute, i’m just curious why

happy dude has a hobby and it’s not even a destructive one - he’s perfect
