Welcome to Gaia! ::

Every day I take my brother's budgie (Pigeon) into my room for some company because my brother's busy and it's amazing because the bird kisses me, sits on my shoulder, talks to me, plays with my hair, etc.

This bird absolutely loves me.
He goes mad every time he sees me.

Once I get back home from somewhere and go and see him he flys to my shoulder and makes kissing noises or he will talk to me and say, ''Giss a kiss, Kim'' which means Give us a kiss, Kim.'' I taught him it because it's a Scottish way of saying things (so says my gran) you see my gran is from Glasgow.

He's so precious!

He can also be quite odd as well as he is in love with a Hello Kitty dispenser and goes mad for it. If I hide it he goes to the edge of my computer desk and starts looking for it. xD
He likes to kiss it.

It's good that he's found something to love as we can't get another parakeet.

He also likes to bob his head to music or just in general.
He is always a happy bird.

I took these two picture recently and I absolutely love them. (Lucky to even get a picture since he jumps on my digital camera all the time).
I might get one of them framed.

Aw! That's so cute.

Would you ever get another one?

I think its wonderful that you have that kind of bond with your parakeet. I have eight birds and they are all like family to me

Yes, they are, all but one are in my signature, I need a better picture of my african grey so I can add him in.

They are lovely!

I do also agree with you about them being like family.
Pigeon is my brother's bird but I consider him my own because he's so close to me more so than my brother.

Thanks, yes, especially with animals as smart as birds, you can't just buy them and stick them in a cage. Its proven that birds have the intelligence equivalent to that of a five year old child. There are an eternal infant and they have to be cared for that way. The have to be part of the family or its no better than a picture on the wall.

Birds do often "choose" their favorite person. They can know instantly who they like and its up to us to be there for them and make sure they get the proper socialization to enjoy attention from everyone.
