Is it bad if my parrot sees me as its mate? What are the signs it thinks so, and what should I do if it thinks I'm its mate?

It's not really healthy for your bird to see you as its mate. Regurgitating to you can be a sign and also trying to mate with a body part of yours- like a hand. A couple easy things to do to discourage this is only give scratches on head/neck area. Petting the back and other places can give a bird the wrong idea and not cuddling with your bird.
