New Jardine's parrot and behavior question

[sherillynn]

One of my former patients passed away and her husband came to find me at work to tell me. He wanted me to know how much his wife enjoyed talking to me about my parrots and telling stories about hers. Since her death about a month ago, he had been trying to rehome two of their birds since he just isn't a bird person and he offered me the Jardine's parrot. I picked her up last night. He knows she is about 7 years old and apparently he HATES men or at the very least, she wasn't too thrilled with him.
I got her home last night and let her settle in. I didn't try to get her out or do anything at all. I simply let her observe her surroundings and settle in. This AM, I thought maybe I would chat with her and open up her cage. I wasn't going to push her to do anything but she came right out so I offered her my hand. She stepped right up and was talking and singing the entire time. After a few minutes, she began to crane her neck strangely and before I knew what was happening, she was regurgitating on my hand! I wasn't sure whether to be thrilled that she was sharing or to put her back in her cage! I guess I should feel honored that she likes me! I've never had either of my other two parrots do this so I was quite surprised. Maybe a little grossed out too...
I have a question for those a little more knowledeable on bird behavior than me. Should I put her away when she does this or just accept it as her way of telling me whe likes me? She did it again this afternoon as well.

I am going to call her Punkin. It seems to suit her green and orange Halloween colors and sweet personality.
Thanks in advance for any behavioral info.

I usually put Scotty on a perch or in his cage when he starts offering to regurgitate. I don't really want to encourage the behavior or the pair bond, for that matter. But I do feel honored if a bit sullied and unusual.

Yeah, the best thing to do is to graciously put them back on their cages when they do that. To encourage it can promote hormonal episodes and you don't want that!
