Thanks very much for those replies - it is definately regurgitating now that you point that out. I haven't taken any of Ollie's toys out at this stage as I was worried I would stress him out. I actually have just moved him into a bigger cage so everything is moved around, I will take on board suggestions of giving him new things to do and explore. Ollie goes to bed around 8:00 pm and normally wakes up around 6am. He has native perches, greens and fruits to eat. Also I have been giving him millet seeds but cut that down to a treat once I realised most of it ended up on the floor (also didn't know it was fattening!) The vet we saw is the only one in our area who deals with birds. When she talked about injections of hormones I decided that is not how I want to go, hence my contact with you guys. I feel better now I have read the posts and other sections of the site. Will follow through with suggestions and see how he goes. thank you very much for feedback, I appreciate it. Cheers

Ollie is 4 years old, and was neglected when we adopted him about 2 months ago. He has a nice cage, toys and 2 bells. He loves to get out of his cage and play, is healthy and talks a lot. Unfortunately I have been told by the vet he has RBS - he vomits (regurgites) a lot and I would like to know how to stop/slow this down as he gets very grubby looking (not to mention the amount of seed he uses up!) I'm also worried he will get sick. The vet says he could have hormone injections - bit concerned about this. There is no particular time or method in his madness - he's been known to throw up on my toe, his bell or just where ever he is at the time. Would appreciate some help if possible - or are we stuck with a bulimic budge? cheers suz Moderator’s Message I changed vomit to regurgitation in your title, vomiting denotes a sick bird, regurgitation is a normal behavior found in budgies and this is what you are talking about
