Parrot Becomes Dad's Gossip Buddy and Leaves Mom Off Board | Cuddle Buddies

As soon as I come in, he's immediately trying to get on my shoulder. You gonna tell dad a story? It's almost bedtime, you might want to tell him the story. And then he'll actually talk in my ear. He'll tell you he's a good bird, he loves you. You a good bird? You a good bird. When I'm sitting in the chair watching TV, he loves to sit on my lap and just go to sleep. He loves my husband and I tried to actually sit down next to him like that. I would get pinched or bitten. You still mad I rubbed his head? It is very challenging because I brought him home really to be my bird. I initially wanted a parrot so I answered an ad and found Buster. He lives somewhere where he very much was not cared for. He needed a new home. How was it? When he first came home, he was actually great with me. Buster's so good helping me sweep because I'm not able to. He cares for me. If he's in the other room, he'll holler, mama, mama. And then probably six months in, there was a shift. The biggest thing I noticed is while Ken is at work, he'll go to the front window and look for him and he'll cry. Buster, gotta be home a little bit. When he got home, he got very excited. He will literally like jump around and then tell them all about his day. I was actually kind of afraid at first because I knew what they could do with their beak. Buster! So I would reach in and pet him through the cage. He would tell you that that felt good and then he would slowly work his way to me and get up on my shoulder. During lockdown he worked from home for a little bit and it just kept getting more and more so. It's come a long way, but now he has total trust with me and he wants to do what I'm doing. He likes to have breakfast with me. When I build something, when I fix something around the house, he'll sit on my shoulder and help in his way. And when she's trying to clean, cook or whatever, he's trying to get in her business. He does give me a hard time. Don't do it. I don't have a problem with it at all. What I love the most about Buster is his bond with Ken, which is something that we enjoy.
