Hello, I have a male eclectus, 6 y.o. We had him from day one. At the age of two months he had a pneumonia that was cured within a few months of antibiotics and special inhalations.
However all his life he likes to find a flat, preferably shiny spot, then regurgitate what he recently ate and eat it again. Also, he knows that it is a bad behavior and doesn't do it if he knows that he is being watched. As an example - if he seats on somebody after dinner he is going to do it politely inside of his beak. Also, if he is around the shiny stand of the kitchen chairs he first checks if somebody is around as such a behavior makes him caged for 30 mins. or so. And he considers himself as a human and lives like one among three of us.
Anyway, about the regurgitating question. He regurgitates one food more than another. Like oatmeal for instance he is going to regurgitate as much as he consumed. Other foods - not.
Question - is it something important missing in his diet. He is on same pellets from 4 months old and he loves them. is it stoppable? did anybody have any similar experience?
All his vets checks he is considered absolutely healthy. So far I did not meet any avia vet who knew the answer.
