vaya_the_elf Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Very worried about my little grey, she is female who is almost two years old, will be pretty soon. Whenever i go in hte bird room and hold her she throws one or two times, only one pellet at time, only when i hold her. Does anyone have that problem as well? She went for last examine I think in January and they said everything looked alright pretty much. If anyone can help, I would be most grateful.

judygram Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Is she throwing up like in vomiting or regurgitating for you, I am a little confused, clarify a little please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaya_the_elf Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Regurgating I think... Tell me the different between the two, i have read some about , thought only males did that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 No both sexes do that and if that is what she is doing then it means she loves you, it is a sign of affection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaya_the_elf Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 Well when she did it, I was holding her, and gave little kiss. Then she opened her mouth couple times, and closed it, then spit up tiny little pellet. She did this twice, only when held her. So I guess thats it. Do they do that all ages?

vaya_the_elf Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 thats funny, thought I read somewhere that they only did that when there older, and it males. Guess read the wrong information or something... Thank you! Probably still tell her vet just in case. Do you think thats what problem was? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 If she is acting normal in every other respect then it is no problem and they can do it when young as well as older and either sexes do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaya_the_elf Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 thank you for telling me this, you have eased my mind a lot. She is very dear to me, so always worry whenever I see something new or changed. She is acting fine by all other means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Then accept her little gifts as the sign of her affection for you and don't worry, she is fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronda477 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Yes our Quaker does this all the time especially around mating time for my husband lol. It is almost like her throwing up lol. It's just a sign of affection we were told by the vet. She has picked him as her mate lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaya_the_elf Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 lol thats funny your quaker does it. My quaker has not done anything like that yet, he does love his head petted. :laugh: My Grey I would hope is does not think of me as her mate since we are both females.. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronda477 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 LOL I honestly couldn't tell you if Molly (Quaker) was male or female lol. She came to us from an abused home and she was 3 years old. But it's funny cause she does that with hubby, and she even tries to rub her behind on him (his arm that is) lol Then when he puts her back in her cage she backs up to her toy and well has some fun lol. But I have read anyway that birds in general will pick someone that they look up to or want as a mate and want to be affectionate with lol. Doesn't necessarily mean the mate part, could be the mother daughter part too lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaya_the_elf Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 lol That is to funny, does she do this even when others are around as well? I hand fed her when she was baby, so I know we have very close bond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
