Speaking of throwing something down...Myrtle likes bananas and holds her beak out for me to wipe it between bites. Rambo just starting eating bananas since he watched Myrtle, but he slings the banana off his beak. That is extremly worse than a banana peel.

Head bob and excited go hand in hand with my B&G. Unless he dips his head, floofs his head feathers, and head bobs, that means he is regurgitating. That is a low, slow head bob, quite different then the 'excited' head bob.
