Yeah!
I wanna see him eat seeds or nuts and using his parrot-beak properly to do it.

Even though they have beaks, I feel there's not enough of griffons acting like birds.

I'm just imagining him doing the parakeet thing of just leaning, leaning, leaning away until he's horizontal with the ground!
(Mostly 'cause I think that'd be cute, though, not because I think he'd deny you hugs!)

I mean, technically he COULD have a budgie face since all the griffons seem to various birds/large cats.

Ha, true!
I wanna hear him chirp, though.

Birds are cute. 
My favourites are the ones I can most frequently observe in naturecity-life / suburban areas. Sparrows and crows.
Crows are highly intelligent; some guy even trained wild crows to use a vending machine he'd built - coins picked up from the street in exchange for food.
City-sparrows are actually really adventurous when it comes to humans. One once tried to land on a friends' sandwhich - while he was holding it in his hands trying to take a bite himself!
I myself had to be on guard while eating a cheeseburger outdoors once.
Though I believe this little sparrow here was an exception even beyond that. Poor little confused bird.

Birds ARE cute!
I've never seen any sparrow get quite THAT friendly. Made it was hand-raised and then ended up in the wild and not sure where to get food from? 
And I heard about the crow vending machines before! I remember hearing recently that a theme park that's planning to 'hire' local corvids to pick up trash in a similar way, too (they drop it off and get treats). Do wonder if it'll go the way of the similar dolphin trial, though, where it turned out the dolphins learnt to hoard trash and then go break bits off to trade in for food when they were hungry.
There's a park where the crows take any bread they're given to the lake and use it to catch small fish, too! And some other corvids learnt their way around bins by pulling a bit of the bin-bag out, putting it under their feet to hold it, and repeating until the bottom of the bin-bag was close enough that they could get to it. They'll make their own tool sets and protect them too. And let's not forget that the ravens in Yellowstone Park are domesticating wolves: they play with the cubs when they're little, and when they're grown up the now-adult wolves share their food with them.
I don't think budgies do much as smart as that though. Parrots, maybe, but budgies just seem to strut about and insist they're the best.
