Does anybodys pet bird go through a very difficult time durring the
spring? My Sampson (Orange Winged Amazon) every year around the middle
of May till the end of May goes through what seems like heat. He gets
agressive and very noisy. He has even gone as far as bending the bars
on his cage to try to get out. Luckily it only lasts a few days when
he's really bad, then he just stops. Another thing he just started
doing is regergitating. I was told this is the highest form of affect-
ion. He does this every morning before I go to work. He also does this
when I'm home and he's trying to get my attention. Any comments on
these subjects would be appreciated. Come on noters does your bird
puke for you?

My Tiel Cory once regergitated and my Wife and I didn't know if it
was because he was sick or what. So that's just his way of telling us
that he loves us?

Chet,
It sure sounds like you could be a potential BIRD ABUSER!!!!!!!!
When birds do this, nothing usually comes up, and if something does
make it to thier mouths, they usually re-eat it. Only once did Samps
actually give me a gift, and it was a solid piece peanut. When I took
it from him and pretended I ate it, he was in TOTAL ECSTASY!!!!!!!!!!!

MY BABY AFRICAN GREY (9 MONTHS) MAKES THE MOTION OF TRYING TO
REGURGITATE (SPELLING) OR SO I THINK IT IS. HE KIND OF GRABS ON TO MY
LIPS AND SUCKS ON THEM. TENDERLY OF COURSE.. I JUST THOUGHT THAT WAS
THE SWEETEST KIND OF AFFECTION HE COULD HAVE DONE. I AM A FIRST TIME BIRD
OWNER SO AM ONLY GUESSING WHAT THIS IS. I NEVER THOUGHT A BIRD COULD
BE SO AFFECTIONATE AS HE IS. HE AMAZES US EVERY DAY!!
IN LOVE WITH BOGART. KAREN

| 689.6 | Why not rename the bird to Chuck..as in Up-? | BUSY::TBUTLER | Mon May 18 1992 12:24 | 6 | |
I'm with you Chet! I love my bird but there are limits!!
And I agree with the previous noter on how affectionate they are
Cory was hanging on me all weekend...it's time to get his wings
clipped again.
