Regurgitation can be a sign of affection/wanting to mate, and some birds may display this behavior toward people they are bonded with if they do not have a mate. It is best to discourage the behavior by either stopping interactions when it happens, or distracting with a favorite toy or treat instead. Puzzle toys or things that can be chewed on/groomed may help him get out some boredom or affection for the object instead.
