Meeting neighbors
So I've had Eddie, my Quaker Parrot, since October and he's never really liked to be touched. He is a rescue so it makes some sense. He may have been in a bad home before me, I'm not sure. The rescue didn't have much information on him. I mostly just find it strange that he allows me to put my face up to his and give him kisses on the beak and on his wings/neck area, but if I even get my hand near him if its not to step up, he freaks out. I'm perfectly ok with Eddie not wanting to have this contact since he allows me to give him kisses and he has even joined in on the fun by making kissy noises back. He can be a little aggressive at times, especially to anyone who isn't me, and I'm working with him on those issues. But anyway, has anyone else had an experience like this?
