Why my YSA regurgitates for my daughter?

[torrap]

First I was trying to ignore it, but it becomes more obvious with each time my daughter visits. Marley gets super excited, starts whistle, screams, attempting to talk, etc. when my daughter is present. It actually happens with many other visitors too. Then in the middle of all of the excitement she starts making her head moves like she is about to vomit, and last time she even regurgitated some.
Would anyone be able to tell me what it means, please. Does she like my daughter, or not? Does Marley try to feed her? Marley doesn't do this with me, so I just wonder.
Thanks in advance.

He wants to make friends LOL. How old is Marley? (sorry can't remember). IMO it's sounds like a good situation. He may be attracted to your nonresident daughter when she visits, but it's socializing him. It's good he finds other folks outside his flock interesting and friendly. I don't think he's going to fly off and leave you (kick you to the curb). MAYBE some mutual preening would offer him acceptance in place of the allo feeding. It's just instinct for him, especially when he gets excited.

OHH, i see he's seven now. He might be falling in love.I still don't think he'll leave you for your daughter, but he likes her. Do you preen him much? Have you tried bonding with him? Allo feeding is when 2 birds feed each other. It can means several things. Some younger immatures will allo feed for social acceptance within their flock, usually with birds that have equal status (other immatures). Adults are usually paired off and won't put up with that. Adult birds(mature) will allo feed their mate as a bonding tool,also preening,and sex. Male birds usually feed their mate while she incubates eggs. A young (7 yr old)male looking for a prospective mate would want to show her he's a good daddy and can feed her while she's setting eggs.This maybe your case. Your daughter is not around all the time so i don't think he'll become aggressive to you. But if he's looking ,maybe you should try and strengthen your bond with him.

Thank you so much henpecked,
This is pretty much what I was telling my daughter, because she was freaking out......
Marley is a girl though, you might remember my story how I got her as a Marley the boy, but DNA sexing proved it's a girl I choose to keep the name......
Does it change anything?
Marley likes me a lot so I am not worried much. She does get REALLY upset when I pick my other bird (DYHA Simba). She starts pinning her eyes and scream like someone is screwing her head off when I pick Simba.
Could this friendly attitude to others just prove that YSAs are just friendly Zons, maybe?????

We'll have to see after she picks a mate,LOL. She sounds like a friendly bird, except with Simba the DYH. She'd probably try to kill Simba if given the chance. My pet hens can get very vicious with each other and i have to keep them apart.

Hahahaha..... She can try to kill Simba (I hope not), but I am not sure she will be able to. Her beak is 1/3 of Simba's...LOL. They don't show aggression towards each other, at least not yet.
It's so funny, I wish I could have camera handy at these few moments, but Marley is very curious with Simba and flew on top of her cage few times. Every time it happened Simba starts to giggle and mombles "I gonna getchyou, I gonna getchyou", and giggles again.......
First time it happened I stood frozen, it sounded so evil....LOL, but Simba's original owner reassured me that that's how they use to play Simba and her .......LOL. Simba was running on top of her cage and her owner was trying to catch her saying "I gonna getchyou" till Simba just starts running after her saying the same thing...LOL.
Thank you henpecked, we will take it slow and see what days will bring.

If the bird belonged or was bred by a woman, your daughter might look or sound like her.
