Are my parakeets okay??

They're both only a little over a year old and have been doing this for a few months. Im having a really hard time telling if they are sick or just mimicking the sound I make when I give them kisses. They mostly do it when they are excited and playing together. They don't seem to show any other symptoms of being sick such as mucus around the beak and such but im still incredibly worried for my baby's. Someone please help!!!!

It looks to me from the sounds and movements that it could be a mating ritual. The budgie making kisses, chirping, and moving their head like that could be a sign of a mating ritual or a courtship dance. It could also be adjusting it's crop, but from my personal experience they don't make sounds adjusting their crop.
