Thanks for reaching out about Charlie. It is possible she is regurgitating as a hormonal behavior, but other things can cause this also. Crop or stomach foreign bodies, ingested toxins and metal toxicity, metabolic concerns (liver, renal disease) are among the list of things that can cause regurgitation. If she is loosing body size and getting thinner, she needs to see an avian veterinarian. Has she laid an egg or acting hormonal otherwise? Good luck.
