Dear, your parrot is very attached to you. You must have taken great care of the bird. Animals and birds mingle with people when they receive affection from them. Looking at the picture of the bird with you, you seem to have a very good relationship. You can't keep a dog due to lack of space. I also rent a house so I can't have a dog. Accustom your bird to a variety of foods at home. Very nicely written. Good luck to you.
