Two of the most common questions I get: 1) How did you get your birds to be so cuddly? 2) How do I get my bird to let me pet them? The first and most honest answer to both is... it depends on the bird. Not all birds will enjoy being pet. The second answer is that you have to have a trusting relationship and bond with your bird first. A bird that does not have full trust in you is not going to want you to pet them. The last part is, as wonderful and cute as a "cuddly" bird can be, it is important to always remember that too much cuddling and petting, especially in the wrong places, can/will increase hormones, hormonal behavior, and possibly even aggression towards you and/or others. The point is... birds aren't dogs or cats. They are not domesticated. It is important to remember this, earn their trust, and treat them with respect. If you do this, you can have a beautiful bond, and yes, lots of cuddles and pets too 🥰 #pets #pet #cuddles #cuddle #cuddly #cute #snuggles #animals #birds #parrots #parrotlet
