Elvenking Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 ...get all excited when I brush my hair. Isaac is always right with me during my morning routine. It doesn't matter what he is doing, as soon as he sees me brushing my hair, he gets all excited and sometimes pants too. He tries to chase the brush around my head while I am brushing. Then he will pump his neck like he is going to feed me. Often, he does regurgitate a little and I have to hide when I brush my hair. So why do you think he gets so excited.
OzzyCAG Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I have no idea but I wonder if he sees it as a preening type activity! Hopefully someone else will have a better idea.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 I'm sure it is sexual! Ask Dave. Doug also seems to know nancy
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted April 9, 2012 Posted April 9, 2012 Lol pikachu... I suspect there are better answers! Personally, I never buy into the sexual issues. I probably would have started to brush my birds hair. My birds have regurged for years! I thank them for their offering. I probably am missing out on their offering, as being sexual. It doesn't really matter, as they are happy that I am their " ROM" Never refuse your birds offering. I believe it is bonding. Nancy
Doug Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I'm sure it is sexual! Ask Dave. Doug also seems to know nancy I'm pretty sure that I know very little...
Jayd Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Hello my friend, We always love to read your post's....Jay and Maggie
Elvenking Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 How old is Isaac? Isaac is about two and a half years old coming up in May. I think RayP is right. LOL.
Elvenking Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 He wants to help preen you? You know....he may just want to do just that! He does grab the brush with his talon and he gets all gaga. He does a similar act when I brush my teeth. In fact, the very same kind of act. Gotta watch out when I am flossing too.
danmcq Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 He does indeed love you as Ray and others suggested. Dayo is also enthralled when I comb my hair, brush my teeth etc.. However, he does not try to regurgitate. He will start panting and going after the comb or tooth brush. This has become a non shoulder time if he happens to be with me in the bath room. I place him on the counter top and let him explore, tap on himself in the mirror with his beak etc. which seems to keep him amused. Sometimes he will ask me to "Comb his face".
judygram Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 He figures you are a handsome fella and he just wants to keep his appearances as well.
Greywings Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 My guess is preening can be a social activity, our Too's just love when daughter brushes her hair (down to knees) so do the cats. The Too's want to be brushed and the Greys seem to think of her hair as her wings and get excited when she lifts her hair outwards & up, very funny. One of the Greys enjoys groom hair and hiding under it.

LOL....so when you put Dayo down he stops? LOL. Isaac wants to get back to my shoulder pretty quick and let me know he REALLY wants to help. I often avoid the regurgitating. But if he gets really carried away, I can get fed. LOL. I love him for his dedication to his companion though.
Elvenking Posted April 10, 2012 Author Posted April 10, 2012 Hello my friend, We always love to read your post's....Jay and Maggie Hi guys! Thank you for commenting about my little love. Always love to hear from you two plus fids.
ariisamis Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 Lol at the replies to this post. TWIX and Judy if you are correct I will have to buy Nala her own make-up and brushes,lol
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted April 10, 2012 Posted April 10, 2012 I think Rayp is right. Loving you. As far as the regurg thing, some do, some don't. Sophie 12 years later, still regurs's. I've gotten smart about it. She does it in my hand, I pretend to eat it and thank her! She is pleased. Nancy
