Default Hyper Goldfish

Is it normal for Goldfish to get all hyper when they see you, begging for food? My tropical fish never do this. I spied on my Goldfish, they dont act this way when they don't see a person, but when I walk into sight they get all hyper swimming at the glass in the direction I am in until I feed them. But obviously I can't feed them every time. Just wondering if this is normal behavior?

Goldfish beg the best. Plus they are social little wet pets. They know who you are and that you are a food source.
