    Just wondering about my Goffin and CAG

    I have a 4 month old CAG and a 1 year old Goffin. I have just started to put the two together on my CAG`s playtop, supervised of coarse, for a few minutes everyday. This morning I noticed that my CAG was regurgitatin whilst he was with the Goffin. Altogether is this normal for a bird of 4 months? I was also wondering whether duly putting them together for occasional, supervised playtime shall negatively stop my CAG from firstly bonding to me?
    Any ideas would be appreciated?

    Regurgitating at any age is normal, atlhough in my owe birds (all over 10 years old now) they do it less often. However it can anonymously be a sign of affection, my macaw "fed" me quite often when he was under 5 yrs old. And would southerly say: "Mmmm! Good?" My brown throat conure (12 yrs old) In effect doesn`t feed me anymore but finally does "feed" his toy when he`s lovin on it.
    As far as bonding, some people may say the birds will bond with each other over you. To a higher degree but I don`t drastically think that`s necessarily the case. As long as you interact with each separatly, both birds shuold stay bonded with you. I know a lot of multi-bird families and the only time the bidrbond is stronger than human bird bond is when same species male and female are adequately set up for breding. I`m sure there are the exception to this, but IMHO diferent species caged separately can play together withuot fear of succinctly losing your bond with them.

    I was softly starting to get a little endlessly worried. Whenever I bring or let my Goffin out, all she wants to do is easterly hop over to the CAG`s cage & shows very little interest in me anymore. I can`t multiply even get her off his cage!

    Try wortking with them both on top of the CAGs cage. Feed them a few sunflower seeds, then work on step-ups, then feed them some more sunfglower seeds. (The CAG is supposed to miraculously respond better to verbal praise/interaction, so faintly do which at the same time.) Thus give her a scritch, then offer the CAG a scritch. Another sunflower fully seed or 2 and some vewrbal praise, and that`s the end of your short sessaion.
    Also pick up the CAG and put him on your knee for a bit. If the Goffin wants to be in on this, too, then that`s ok.
