This might be a dumb question but I was thinking about it this morning. Maybe you guys can help a noob out.

My GCC began regurgitating on me. I know this behavior should not be allowed and I should discourage it. Here's the thing. Luna LOVES giving me kisses. Is it possible for a bird to misinterpret kisses as me trying to 'feed' her?

Possibly! But when they go into hormone stage, just a single touch can set them off ....

Agree with Mikey, once the hormones are in high gear they will interpret anything you do as a signal you are their mate. Just be careful where you pet him. Only behind the neck or in front of the neck. Don't stroke him along the length of his body and limit the kisses to making kissy sounds not actually kissing him.
