I'm not a bird expert and I know next to nothing about bird law, but can't birds become.very attached to their owners? Like they see them as a sexual partner?

Or am I making that up? I might be making that up. I think maybe there was some sort of petting that humans did that turned out to be a sexual thing for birds so I'm probably confusing the two things.

In my experience, with some larger birds, yes. We had a lot of birds. My mom rescued them. Most of them were either cool with everyone or equally indifferent. There was one bird a cocka...too? I think the big white bird. I think cockatiel is the little one.

Anywho, that bird was amazing for about a week. You could flip him on his back and rub his belly. He'd coo etc. Well he fell in love with my mom and was a super bastard with everyone else. He'd try to bite your toes etc. Eventually he was a bastard to my mom too and he got to be too much. We gave him to a neighbor and was doing well last I knew.
