DaffyToons Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Can't say that I've seen it, but all of my greys are older. Could he be bonding with you? Does he regurgitate his food in his cage when he is alone or does he do it when interacting with you? Are there any signs of distress? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brdiecat Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 This is pretty common, actually- it means your bird LOVES you & looks at you as it's mate/head of it's flock. Mine does it to me all the time. I've heard of birds going through with regurging (bringing food up) with their owners. DON'T 'yuk out' over it- it is a sign of trust & love from the bird towards you & 'yuk'ing will be a rejection. Praise, praise, praise... then play with your bird as usual & count yourself lucky that your bird is showing so much affection towards you.

kylesheart Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 the response from brdiecat is actually what i found was happening. and trust me it has been hard not to react to his show of affection. my gag reflex isnt enjoying this at all.... but the vet did condfirm this is a good thing and he is just trying to share dinner as a sign of love Becky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
