Why is my budgie regurgitating seeds? Is he sick or just bonding?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered

My budgie is regurgitating seeds to everything but he seems to be able to control it and he isn't acting any different than usual. He was hand fed when he was young. What should I do?

Have Sky examined by your veterinarian or an experienced avian vet to diagnose illness or injury. You can also move the cage away from direct sunlight and limit daylight hours using a cage cover. This may stop his mating behavior if that is what it is. Limit any interaction, such as beak wrestling, that may foster mating behavior as well.
