Regurgitating water


Mel

Recommended Posts

I've tried to google but there seems to be several reasons for regurgitating. I know regurgitating food can be an honor of love. Can it have the same meaning with water? Our bird is appx 12 weeks. Does regurgitating out of love start this young? It seems to be the water he is doing this with. I give him water AFTER his formula. He seems to take 2 to 3 times as much water than food. Is this too much water? Do they over gorge themselves, maybe even with intent to share? Everything else seems healthy as possible. Thanks, Mel

Mel, my youngest grey is about 5 months old now and he also does the same thing! He has done this for the last month or so. Its like he gulps to much water down to quickly then brings it back up! My grey is healthy and I have no other problems with him hopefully yours is just taking in far to much water! I would just keep a close eye for any other changes and if you are concerned at all consult your vet. Caroline :)

I give it with a syringe per the pet store. I do suspect he is taking too much. The pet store hires a lady to take care of their pets. She seems pretty knowledgeable, way more than the owner in my opinion. We were told the bird would let us know when it's had enough but I suspect his intake is too much. I give him appx. 35 ml formula and he's taking 2 or 3 in water. His crop seems really full to me. Perhaps I should limit him on the water intake as I am keeping a bowl of water in access. Thanks.
