Hello everyone. I am hoping someone can help me understand what Sammy is doing. If this is normal for Amazon's. ( if there is such a thing as normal lol )
I was out of town for a couple days this week. I had someone stay in my home so Sammy wouldn't be alone. The last two days he has done something that I don't know how to read.
He has always been clingy and possessive over me. Lord forbid should someone touch me if he is on me. That I have just come to accept. But yesterday, he was sneaky and climbed down off his cage very quietly , instead of flying to the floor which gives me warning he's on the prowl to find me, and there he comes across the livingroom floor. He walked around close by for a couple of minutes then decided it was time for moms attention. I do not allow him to climb furniture. ( read to many horror .stories of destroyed furniture and cabinets ) so I slid off the chair onto the floor with him.
Then I get confused.
He looks like he is gagging , my hand is on the floor and he comes over like he does normally and puts his head down for a scratch. Except when I start to scratch him he's raises his foot to grab my hand ( this. Is normal for him, thank God because that's better than the " I've had enough bite") he gets my hand back to floor, just stands there a second gagging, then presses his beak between my fingers and regurgitated. Not much came out but he did that a couple times. After that he was just content.
Now tonight he does it again, but this time he actually puts my finger into his beak and rubs on my finger with his tongue and does it again. It's almost like he was trying to feed me and push " the food" down my throat with his tongue. I'm very very happy it was my hand and not actually my throat lol.
Is it possible that he thinks he is trying to feed me ?
Is this technique a normal process for Amazon's ? He is very , and I mean extremely, attached to me. Is this related to me being good a few days ? Everything else is the same ole same ole with him. A mommas boy , kinda lazy, eating well, nothing that would make me think he is sick in any way.
This may sound crazy to some of you but remember he is my first amazon so im still learning. Thank yall cause most of my educating is from all of yall here at the forum.
He is super sweet with me and has trained with me perfectly. He trust me for sure. He will let.me do anything to or with him. He has even gotten to the point of laying on his back in my arms like a baby. Started out he would flip over and lay in my lap holding one finger and me scratching his head with the other hand. I didn't teach him that. He just flipped over whole I was holding him one day right outa.the blue. Anyways, I was just hoping someone could help me understand why he is doing the stuff he's doing the last day or so.
I hope I was able to explain in a way you can picture it in your head.
Thanks so much for any feedback.
