Why would my parrot cling to me ?

If that’s the moment when his behavior changed, then yes, I would assume that is the cause. Does he cling to anyone else?

All psittacine birds are flock animals and very much want to be accompanied all the time. They say having aparrot is a 24 hour job, because neglected birds will start showing anxiety symptoms (feather plucking, etc.)

He may now be considering you to be his mate or his parent.

He still goes to everyone else , but always ends up with me .

Everyone else makes up his flock, but you represent a closer relationship than that, hence my choice of the words mate and parent.

@Darwin Yea my owl thought i was his parent due to the hard rearing of him .
As long as i don’t get the humping effect from the parrot things will be cool .

I agree, it definitely seems like you helping him made him feel closer to you.

I love stories like this, I think it’s wonderful. I have two cats, one I picked because he was the only different color in the whole litter (they were all a combination of black and gray, he is a bright tanish/gold sort of color) and was the runt. He went through a phase where he would completely refuse to leave anyone’s shoulder, not even when we had to use the bathroom. The other, my sister found on the nearby bike path. He was very young and VERY skinny. I’m happy to say, though, that he is now a total fatass. They are both considered part of the family and we’ll probably all be trainwrecks when they die.

As far as I understand parrots bond to a particular person. I wouldn’t be surprised if the nursing didn’t help create that bond. What kind of parrot is it? I have an African Grey and she’s totally on top of me whenever she’s out of the cage.

If not you, then who, who, who?
