Hello, I was hoping some experienced parrot owners could give me some insight into Jacks's baby behavior. Jack is a blue and gold Macaw, and is going on 3 years old. (about 2 and a half) He still acts like a baby, trying to regurgitate on me. (Yes, thanks, not hungry!) I take my hand away once I see him start to try and bring something up - but I let him grab my finger and bob his head up and down like a baby (he pretty much constantly plays with my fingers while I hold him) and I don't stop the "knocking" either, a sure sign he is thinking of bringing up some "food" because he has realized I don't like actually getting puked on and he rarely tries anymore. (I have had him a bit less than a year) I have read that some parrots beak knock when establishing ownership of something, but he pretty much does it as a prelude to trying to feed me. (or anyone else who is holding him that he deciedes he likes) Anyway, none of this would worry me much, except when we went to the vet yesterday he started doing this while they were clipping his wings. The vet tech immediately stopped, proclaimed that weird and a bad sign...when I asked why he said anything abnormal is a bad sign., Tell me, should I worry about my boy? Be more strict with trying to get him to stop these behaviors? What do you think? Is it bad he still acts like a baby? He has no other bad or weird behaviors at all..this is an abnormally well behaved bird also!
