It sounds like Golgie may just get excited and overstimulated when you are trying to feed him. Kind of like me when I get hangry! Given that he's older it may be difficult to train him out of this behavior, but you can try to keep the feeding routine calm and keep him from getting worked up. If you keep it low key then hopefully he will stay that way as well. Good luck!
