Why does my pet gray parrot always regurgitate on me during playtime?

Birds can sometimes begin to regurgitate or share food if they're feeling in a "lovey" or mating mood. It may be that he is considering you a potential mate. It'd be best not to encourage the behavior if this is the case, and to try and interact with him in other ways, such as offering a toy to play with, walking away when he attempts it etc. If you're seeing any other symptoms such as changes in eating habits, stool changes, listless behavior, etc, then it could indicate something beyond just behavioral, and scheduling a vet checkup is always a good idea.

Often they regurgitate (not vomit) their food when they are in the presence of a friend or mate. It's a way for them to show off. If you have a particularly close relationship with your parrot, then this could explain the behavior; especially if it's something he does regularly. They can also do it more often during breeding seasons. There are a couple of different diseases of the gastrointestinal tract that can also cause frequent regurgitation, so it's best to have him checked out by an avian vet if this suddenly started occurring. If you are suspicious that it's more behavioral, then you may consider altering how you interact with your parrot. This is especially important when it comes to touching your parrot. In the wild, friends will only touch around the head and neck, while mates will touch areas below the neck, like under the wings and belly. Essentially, you'll want to give a little distance between you and the parrot. If that stops the regurgitating, then you'll know that's the problem. I hope that helps and all goes well with your Ringneck.

Birds can sometimes regurgitate as a sign of affection/interest in trying to mate with you, so this could be that Bella is very comfortable and bonded with you. If she is otherwise healthy, I wouldn't be too concerned, but you may want to try to discourage the behavior by changing your interactions some if she seems too attached. If you suspect she may be ill instead, a vet visit is best.

This does not sound as if this is a "happy" behavior, but sexually mature birds will sometimes regurgitate to mates. Most conures become sexually mature after 1-2 years of age, at the earliest. Other reason for head bobbing and regurgitation behavior is illness or a foreign body in the crop. If Opal continues to regurgitate, you should seek out an avian veterinarian for an examination. If it only happens when you pet the neck, try not touching the area for a few days to see if the regurgitation behavior subsides.

This may be mating or sexual behavior. The whole seed indicates regurgitation instead of vomiting. The rubbing of the perch is likely mounting behavior. It should pass. You can provide different toys or rearrange the cage to distract him, but there is no cause for concern as long as he is behaving normally otherwise.

Birds do not recognize themselves in the mirror, so this would explain the mating behavior of regurgitating. I know it looks somewhat concerning, but it is more of a behavioral thing and is not concerning from a medical standpoint. If she seems more hormonal (like she's displaying a lot of mating behaviors), then you should expect this to pass within a few weeks. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do to stop her from doing this at this time...you'll have to just wait for this phase to pass. If she doesn't seem to be keeping any food down or is continuing the behavior for longer than a month, then it's best to have a vet check her out. There are a few different infections and conditions that cause chronic regurgitation, so it would be good to rule these out as a cause.

She's regurgitating for the bird in the mirror. Remove the mirror for a week or so. Rearrange the perches and toys. Rotate the selection of toys to keep her environment "fresh". Regurgitation is a normal behavior but can affect health if she does it constantly.
