And pair of African Greys
I think it could be a begging behavior. My CAG does something similar when she wants to eat.

I can not see the video from my phone so I gotta wait til tonight when I can view from my computer to tell you. But most of the regurgitating have to do with liking you to show affection.

Scooter does the same thing.. Cute as hell!! Part of being excited to see you I guess.. Scooter has never brought anything up as regurgitation..!!
We call it the "Caique head bob", he goes faster if you show him the same enthusiasm.... :)

Onyx has also never brought anything up unless you count when I brought her home on the car ride she was doing that but I think it was carsickness

AAAAWWWW!!!

Nothing says "I LOVE YOU" louder and clearer than birdy puke! :D

LOL! Never a truer word was spoken! When I come home, I think of it as Eliza saying "You're HOME! I love you so much that I've been saving this for you ALL DAY!"

LOL. Birds. It's no wonder cat and dog people think we're nuts. (although I admit I am a dog person too *toes six little dogs under the desk*).



I was asking because, I mean... she's doing this from across the room. LOL, but only when she is really excited to see me, so I guess it's legit. Most of my regurgitory experience with birds has been when they're right there in your face.
