Zoom Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Simon keeps trying to regurgitate. I've noticed him doing it when I first greet him when I come into the room. He's now doing it for Oboe the lovebird, too. He's too young to be doing it for hormonal reasons, isn't he? (He's 3 and a half months.) Do you think maybe he's got something stuck in his crop? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 This isn't unusual, this is how they feed........cute....You might want to get him a low-iron organic baby food, [sweet potatos, apple sauce, pears etc.] warm it [above 103%,no higher than 107%] and feed him with a spoon. Some Greys require hand feeding up to a year old..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mawnee Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Cosmo began doing it occasionally pretty young as well. Maybe 4-5 months old? I too thought it seemed too young and was concerned it was something else. I guess this day and age they just grow up faster lol. Now at a year old he does it fairly often for myself and my wife, particularly if we've been gone for a while(like when we get home from work). We do our best not to reinforce it with a "No thanks, I'm not hungry" and walk away for a minute or two. Only once has he really gotten me....he was on my shoulder...shook his head and sprayed wet seeds all over my face *bleh!* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When their a year old plus, it's as Dan said "It's the highest honor a bird can bestow to another. This means you are greatly loved!":) In stead of saying "no thanks" tell em you love them to......
