Gagging?
by AlbertaGirl » Sun Jan 02, 2011 10:01 pm
Our Senegal Tiko sometimes makes a gagging/vomiting motion when I am talking to him. He doesn't do this to anyone else. Should I be offended???

Is he trying to regurgitate for you?

I don't know... I'm very new to birds. It sure looks like he's trying to bring something up!

That's bird romance. He's putting the moves on you. You're his chosen mate!

He's showing you that he can feed you while your setting on the eggs (allo feeding). He wants you to know that he's a good daddy, and you're his mate, guess you know what coming next (hehehe)

And here I wasn't sure that he liked me! LOL! How can I show him that I'm flattered and that I would like to continue our relationship?

Don't be surprised if you come home to candles and soft music.

Just be careful if he's sitting on your shoulder and tries to stretch his wings - he's going for the reach-around.
