My bird just puked on me!

Uhm we were playing peek a boo and Sam came up on me and puked! Is this a normal thing for a bird to do????

It means he loves you!!

Seriously though. Parrots regurgitate their food for their young, their mates, or their best pals. You might notice him doing some crazy head-bobbing before he does it. Try not to encourage this as it will lead to your bird thinking you're his mate, which is super bad. So, tell him thanks but no thanks and ignore it.

Sounds to me like he's upset with you because you did not return the affection by regurgatating on him. LOL

Keep in mind that with birds, regurgitation and puking are two different things. Regurgitation is done to feed and show affection and puking is done because a bird is sick. There are different signs as to differentiate as to which is which.

Definitely regurgitated! Clean bill of health from the vet today! Sam did NOT like the Vet! lol I really think he was upset!!!! He wouldn't come back over to me for a minute there! Lol

Jasmine tries to feed me and I try to distract her. She does it less now so is learning she gets more attention if she doesn't!!

Your bird sure loves ya

When training Mishka at night, 90% of the time he will reguigitate for me.
He is showing love an affection towards me.
