Lucky's cage is by my chair and I often see her drinking. I take that as she trusts me a lot. Not sure how to tell if she is happy but she is playful, chrippes a lot and has a lot of energy. She even bobs her head a little.

That head bobbing is a 100% sure sign that she is happy.  |

Not to bring this up again, but is this what head bobbing looks like?
Shasta does this type of thing all the time, but I wasn't clear on whether it was head bobbing or dancing.

Yes, head bobbing and dancing are the same thing, or can be , and definitely are a sign of happiness. |

Headbobbing/Dancing is usually accompanied by an upbeat song, and is a sign of pure excitement and joy, like when a child gets what they wished for for christmas It usually comes with other, subtler signs of joy, like a posture with a puffed out chest, and the feathers on the top of the head and the cheeks tend to be fluffed up, making the budgie's head appear larger and softer |

And as you know from your budgie's adorable little performance, head bobbing/dancing is so stinkin' cute you can hardly stand it. |

Ain't that the truth! He knocked himself off his perch once because he was so excited.

Sorry, I probably should say that isn't my video. I found one on Youtube that was close to what Shasta does.
