Sunny the Sun Conure (sept '18, gotcha 3/'19). Mr Jefferson Budgie & Mrs Calliope Budgie (albino) (nov'18 & jan'19). Summer 2021 Baby Budgies: Riker (Green); Patchouli, Keye, & Tiny (blue greywings).
A year ago, Jefferson could not differentiate tv from reality. A year ago, I would not watch any videos of birds (much less budgies!) because Jefferson would try to climb behind the tv looking for them.

A year later, Jefferson has some vague comprehension that videos are not really in the room with us. I've started running youtube videos of budgie flocks on internet-tv. Here's his response:

Oh by the way, that is after-bath-Sunny also making an appearance.:)

Jefferson may have been a hummingbird in a previous life :)

Clearly he’s enjoying communing with his wild cousins, and it kinda looks like your Sunny wants in on the action too!
 
Too funny! They certainly can see flat screen tvs. Salty walks up to the screen on my tablet and starts talking to the bird on the screen. "Are you a bird?" "A pretty bird?" And he introduces himself too.
 
Hilarious! Birds definitely comprehend the visuals, hard to know what they are thinking.
 
That's impressive! Noodles would just slam into the TV if she tried that move LOL! BUT she does have strong opinions about people/animals on camera- she sees them and reacts even if she can't hear them!
