My bird regurgitates often, losing weight, and it smells. Is he sick?

Question

My bird(green indian ringnecked parakeet) regurgitates a lot daily...I've read that they do it out of love but he does it all the time...even when we're not playing or talking. Even does it in his cage before going to sleep n when he wakes up.the content is sometimes pink/Brown/dull yellow colored and is a bit smelly. And he looks like he's lost some weight too. Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Male | unneutered | 6 years and 6 months old

If Baru is regurgitating to the point of losing weight it sounds as if there may be a deeper problem going on. Prolonged stress or illness may both cause chronic regurgitation, as well as some infections, parasites and even obstructions of the crop or digestive tract. Since he is losing weight and doing it a lot, it is best to bring him to a local avian vet for a complete exam to figure out the underlying cause.
