That is actually bad for the bird.. We have germs in out mouth that can harm a bird. Sounds more like it is something they started doing and thought it was funny. If he eats other foods there is no need to do such a thing.
Plus the bird could have bad germs too. They preen their feathers and that includes their vent..
