Hi everyone,
I'm sorry I don't always respond to other people's posts very much. I read them every two or three days but never have any time because of my ridiculous job and so can't always respond as much as I'd like.
I'm wondering what is happening to Bimbo and why she is regurgitating quite so much. She's coming up to seven months old now, and just in the last ten days her cere has started to darken noticeably. It wasn't long ago that it was still quite white, but now it is becoming very tan. This, to me, seems to have changed quickly (and recently).
I don't know if it's because she is breeding mode (her cere isn't scabby, just tan) but she is crazy about regurgitating seeds to me. Usually three or four at a time. Usually one seed, then another, then another (in the space of a few minutes). I never stop her, or pull my face away, or spit them out because to me, this seems mean. Today, she actually regurgitated three all at once. It felt like a lot on my lips and I did wonder if she was being sick. So I dabbed them onto my hand but it wasn't sick. They were barely digested at all.
On Thursday, after a not-great day at work, she regurgitated about three seeds (in one kissy session).
On Friday, she did it twice. Once at about 4pm when I got home and then again at about 8pm.
On Saturday she did it three separate times! Once during the day, then late afternoon, then again early in the evening.
Today (Sunday) she has done it three times again - once in the morning and twice in the afternoon.
On each occasion, she's tried to feed me several seeds. When she does this she's obviously happy and a bit excited - running along the arm of the settee where my head is (I've been watching a lot of snooker) then leaning in to feed me. But it feels a bit excessive. I love it when she does it, but is it normal?
She did have a phase of doing this before, a few months ago, but then she stopped. She's doing it even more at the moment. I'm wondering if it's like a strange budgie biorhythm and she's feeling particularly fond of me because of a hormonal thing that she's going through? Would she be the right age to be affected by a hormone?
