I just came home to find my bird bopping its head i was like "aww cute" then i realised that it looks like he is trying to get something out of its throat or vomiting. I need some help and am wondering if he is sick!!!!

Update*
Of course now that i've posted this he doesnt seem to be doing it anymore. :cautious:

This might not be what it was, but look on youtube and find videos of "cockatiel adjusting crop". I remember the first time I noticed one of my birds doing that I was so scared and thought it was going to die! If those videos look similar to what your bird was doing, I wouldn't worry about it, but if it looks different, it may be something to get checked by a vet just in case.

If you google regurgitation you are bound to get some youtube hits for it, if you have troubles let me know and I will find some footage for you later on, I am just about to go cook tea.

They don’t always follow through with bringing food up.
If it’s only happening a few times a day it’s generally no concern, if it’s happening a lot or there’s a weird smell or other odd new things you’re seeing too etc then it’s worth investigating further.
