Michael wrote:Something I think people may confuse for dominance is the fact that parrots just prefer to sit higher in general which doesn't necessarily interpret as dominance. If a parrot is on the floor or low table, it is likely to fly up to you if called just to be higher. However, if a parrot is happily sitting up on a fan, cabinet, etc... it's harder to call it down to you. I don't think this is the parrot exhibiting its dominance over you, it's just naturally feels safer higher so going up is reinforcing but coming down isn't.
