Question

Why my peach-faced lovebird always 'vomit' out after nodding its head? Is it normal development for lovebird?

Answer 1

That's just the bird regurgitating. It's related to their digestion, but usually it's a sign of affection, especially if it's regurgitating while you're giving it attention, or it's regurgitating for another bird.

Answer 2

mine does it too. its normal as long as it doesnt start losing great amounts of body weight. they normally do this to feed young or their mates. Sometimes mine would do it on my hand when i was holding her, its a sign of love. They are trying to feed you  :)

Answer 3

Yes, that is normal. All birds re-gurgitate there food.

They learn this from there mother when they are babies.

They usually stop this behaviour or forget about it when they become adults.

Adult birds still do it, if there is more than one bird in the cage or if they have a mirror in the cage.

Answer 4

It is usually normal, they regurgitate for their mate or for their young and that is how they do it. If there is another love bird then it is probably doing it for the bird, or if it is a single tame bird it may be doing it for you. It it is alone and not tame then you might want to try a broad spectrum antibiotic just in case, or visit an avian vet.

Answer 5

Yeah it's normal. It means he likes you... as in -REALLY- likes you.. as in.. you know.

My firend's Macaw *likes* me.
