@DoubleTake I've always been a budgie owner. The only other time I've met lovebirds was at a pet store that I rarely go to with a friend who was buying hay for their guinea pigs. They seem skittish and not hand-tame. There was an energetic one in there, but wasn't really angry as much as curious nips.
Chako's such an attention hog that when I was visiting my boyfriend's house with friends, she would fly over to the dining table when we were gathered all around. She's also bonded enough to my boyfriend and his family (she thinks of them as her flock) that when she's outside with them, she'd usually be with them (though I wouldn't normally recommend someone to free-flight small birds). She also likes to attack stuffed animals, towels, figurines, and pretty much a lot of things.
