No....I think he has a crush on his water bowl :-O or he's ill. Gonna see if I can upload a video.
 
That's what I thought too......like he's trying to figure out the best way to get to it....you can just see the wheels spinning in his head:)
 
I agree, he's looking at the food. If he shows signs of illness though you can put him into a plastic storage container with a heating pad under it until you can get him to the vet.

If he starts humping the water bowl, well, then he has a crush on it:D

Lol. I am not supposed to laugh at him! It's like having a teenager!!!!
 
Sorry, birds aren't shy about these things though. They won't care that your children or dear old Aunt Marge is in the room. You can tell the kids the bird is playing, but Aunt Marge will know better:D

Better the water bowl than you though. I have 2 birds regurgitating for me every day, lol!

Well.....at least I know he's not sick!?
 
Doesn't sound like he is. If he's in love with the water bowl though you might see him regurgitate for it. When they actually throw up though it tends to be violent and go flying when they flick their head. If they regurgitate it comes out a lot slower and the head movements are a lot slower. So don't panic. That's how birds court each other.

Thanks for telling me! I figured that would come next. The keets are feeding each other too. Poor Clifford needs a date.
 
Well, Merlin keeps trying to put it in my mouth (at least she knows where it goes, I guess), and Pete is putting it in my hand and dribbling it all over my clothes:)
