People just don't know that birds can be like dogs with feathers.

This guy gets it. Our animals can give us the purest form of love. To be on the receiving end of it is the greatest honor.

It's amazing how much birds can look and act like rodents. I have Degus that like to sit on my shoulder and snuggle.

In my experience, with some larger birds, yes. We had a lot of birds. My mom rescued them. Most of them were either cool with everyone or equally indifferent. There was one bird a cocka...too? I think the big white bird. I think cockatiel is the little one.

Anywho, that bird was amazing for about a week. You could flip him on his back and rub his belly. He'd coo etc. Well he fell in love with my mom and was a super bastard with everyone else. He'd try to bite your toes etc. Eventually he was a bastard to my mom too and he got to be too much. We gave him to a neighbor and was doing well last I knew.

I'm not a bird expert and I know next to nothing about bird law, but can't birds become.very attached to their owners? Like they see them as a sexual partner?

Or am I making that up? I might be making that up. I think maybe there was some sort of petting that humans did that turned out to be a sexual thing for birds so I'm probably confusing the two things.

Yes that is true. The only birds that I have known to be different are cockatoos. They still have a favorite person but in my limited experience they will accept cuddles from anyone offering them.

Imprinting is the word you're looking for, and yes. Some species can. It's about context, such as type of bird, socialization, habitat, ect.

Bird loves Human or Bird loves grooming on your stubble?

Bird just wants the oil off his face to lube its feathers. Not saying there’s no affection there, but practicalities…

Crembels t1_j00b7nz wrote

As a bird owner, birds get itchy. Beards and stubble are a perfect scratching post for them to rub their faces on that they cant itch themselves via their beaks. My bird for sure LOVES being scratched in that area around her beak and near her eyes/cheeks.

Its cute as fuck either way. But im willing to bet the kiss from the dude left an irritating feeling on the birb and it was doing what it could to releive itself since it trusts him.

My neighbor had a lovebird who became my special friend. He'd run after me if I went to the bathroom or start yelling when I left. He'd come to my house and take showers with me or walk around on me while I napped. We'd groom each other and hang out. All cool, nothing that weird. But once he was getting all interested in my socked foot and my neighbor said, "careful...he might do a little bird jizz on your foot if you don't look out". So take from that what you will.

I'll probably get downvoted for this, but wtf happened?

I'm so sick of "gender equallity" going overboard. Not the first example.

Women thirsting over this guys, several comments, gets upvoted.

Say something like "nice smile" to a girl as a male. Damn near death treats.

My point exactly. It is so horrific there is own subreddits to calling them out.

So why is it ok when women do it?

I'm not talking about the comments them selves, I am talking about the act of sending sexually related comments. Ok when Women do it, apparently.

This is exactly the reason Male rape gets laughed at and not taken seriously.

Yeah no… wife had conures (bird in the video) and they are absolutely the worst pet sold at traditional pet stores. They shit every ten minutes and can’t be potty trained so you end up with shit all over your clothes and your house. They also love to destroy everything they touch with their beak and can easily chew threw wood. They can easily and often do draw blood with their beak and are super temperamental. Add to the fact they can fly, I was constantly in fear the winged devils would attack my eyes. Also, if a door is left open, they can fly away and will get lost and you’ll never see them again. You can’t leave them alone for long periods of time as they are fairly intelligent and require constant attention. They are extremely noisy, on a similar level to having a newborn human baby but it never grows up. Parrot owners are also a special breed of pet owner and will love the birds to death despite all this and act like none of these issues are even issues. It was often the source of serious relationship issues for us. The birds are still intelligent creatures though so for the sake of the birds, don’t just go off on a whim and buy one, unless you and your family are looking for the commitment that comes with having a newborn human baby for life that can’t be potty or sleep trained ever, has razors for teeth, can fly, and never be around an open door. Also, they can live up to 25 years…

Aren't you a nice fellow, fucking whiteknight.

Edit:

Guess I am not clear.

Comment on a hot girl in r/gifs you get lynched, women thirsting over a dude on r/gifs. Upvotes.

Litarellay just some days ago, a post where someone said "beautiful eyes and smile" to a girl. That's it. 138 downvotes.

Other subs, what has that anything to do with it? There are literall porn subs..

Well to be fair not all birds breeds are the same just like dogs. Quakers are noisy attack dogs. You are right though birds require your full attention and people should not get one before understanding all that it means to be a bird owner.

My mom had two cockatoos. Peaches wanted cuddles from everyone and Rocky loved my mom and I, but would bite my brother. She rescued quakers that would let her sew socks on them(they had plucked out all their feathers), but would attack the rest us if we got anywhere near them. It just depends ...
