Hi Junho before responding to this I did a search of your other posts one of which I just this morning replied to and it struck me that though you have birds around you you've never really had a bird befriend you yet...but it will happen one day and when it does you will stop asking questions like you have just asked. You will then know that a parrots trust and love and companionship is something more than loyalty and something new and wonderful each day of your life as your bond with your parrot grows ...on that day your eyes will be opened to a whole new way of seeing your birds and you will begin to bond with birds some of whom for all of their lives with you have been waiting for the bond between you to grow . I have to smile when I look at your questions and I imagine if your parrotlet were to post here instead of you he would type something like this:
" Dear fellow parrots I have a human who appears to have issues from his past life. The human doesnt relate well when I make it known that I would like to be friends with him and instead of taking the inch I give him he disrespects my space and tries to take a mile instead...this is very frustrating so I try to teach him with my beak by biting him when he lunges at me. Why are hunans so violent? Why do they need to control us so much? Why cant they just be part of the flock and respect its rules . I am considering clipping the hands of my human so he cant grab me. Its for his own safety to keep him from getting bitten by other parrots who might not understand and injure him when he tries to lunge at them . Fellow parrots what am I doing wrong I have tried and tried to befriend this human whom I want to keep as I dont want to rehome him but Im failing because he just doesnt seem to see me as an intelligent being with feelings and emotions and needs ...how can I teach him that I have emotions and feelings and that I want a companion not a prison cell with a prison guard who feeds me and cleans my cage and says hello now and then peers at me wondering if I will ever talk back .... humans can be very hard to handle..."
Listen to your bird Junho and begin to devellop a new relationship with your birds...you dont tame a bird by grabbing it or clipping its wings you respect their space view them as intelligent beings and earn their trust and devellop a bond with them over time which one day will lead to a friendship beteen you and your bird that will by far exceed any imaginable joy and indeed surpass in its depth of love many of the human friendships in your life.
You will however need to change your mindset if you are ever going to experience this joy ...Go and see your birds in a whole new light you might be surprised what you find
Ya know when you read something in a book, on a forum, hear it in a movie etc. & you think to yourself it doesn't get more crystal clear, more inspiring, that's it right there in a nutshell, ah-ha type of a moment.
Yeah that's what your post is.
I really hope that your eloquently written words inspire "ah-ha" moments for those that stubble across them & help them view things from a different perspective.
Well said!
