Peculiar behaviour with my Parrotlet

Question
Hi Chyrs, thanks for taking the time to read, and hopefully help with my question, which is...
My Parrotlet, Bobby (5 year old Pacific) is a healthy, happy, boisterous little guy. However, I've noticed during the past few months, he's been acting very odd when he's around me. He regurgitates for me, but that's not the problem so much as his trying to constantly "get friendly" (putting this delicately) with my hand. I'm just wondering.. I've read up on this behaviour, and I am his primary "person", but I'm just wondering, if there is anything I might be able to do to lessen his stress over protecting me. It seems so funny, that a bird has fallen in love with me, and at first it was sort of cute, however, he's beginning to get more and more aggressive with others, and more demanding of me. Gone are the times when he would hang out with me. Now he just constantly wants to show me his "affection." Is this harmful for him? And do you have any advice? This guy is near and dear to my heart, and I would hate to be doing him harm in the long run.
Thank you!

Answer
Hi, Romey.  Thanks for posting.

No, this behavior is not harmful for him.  Only harm would be if your parrotlet would feel that you have rejected him!  Yes, your parrotlet has chosen you for his mate.  The only thing I've found that works, and it doesn't always work with each bird, but when he starts to do this, tell him "No" and move your hand or put him down or back in/on his cage, etc.  You have to teach him that you don't appreciate his behavior.  Be sure to not reward him when he does this.  In other words, when he acts likes this, do not give him a treat, pet him, or anything...remove the parrotlet's ability to do what he's doing every time he behaves like this.  It's perfectly normal with male parrots.
