Hi! Recently, my boyfriend came back from college for summer vacation and spent some quality time with my bird (Roman) while I was at school. Problem is: my cockatiel has taken a stronger liking to him than me! I think it has to do with him being a better whistler than I am, and they happily whistle together. My boyfriend isn't really a bird person, but gets along with my bird just like any pet. Roman, however, is practically crankng his neck through the bars to whistle alongside him! The only thing I'm a little sad about is that he was chosen because he can whistle better! Haha, if only I could whistle just as well. It does make me happy that Roman gets better entertainment than he could with me, though.
This isn't really a problem since I'm not particularly jealous (birds will be birds, and at the end of the day I'm still the one taking care of him) but I was just wondering if anyone else has had an experience like this.
