He is loving my boyfriend more than me.

I handfed him. I clean his mess. I feed him. I give him water. I am the one who has him out. I give him treats.

But freaking second my boyfriend walks into the room, Tteok flies over and starts heartwinging at him and singing.

Not. Fair. :arghh: :angry101:

Same happened to me with my quaker. I raised him from 3 months old he ended up not wanting anything to do with me for a long time. I won't adopt babies anymore because of it!

This is actually super common with babies. They are hardwired to leave the nest and find a mate that isn't the parent. Hand raising them makes you the parent - not good mate material

I haven’t hand raised any of mine. Yet still they both prefer their father. I do all their care, research how to train and work with them, etc. they like me ok and are good for me. My boyfriend on the other hand pretty much loves on them until they submit to it following no code of bird conduct and they flock to him. He’s the fun dad and I’m the dependable mother. But oh well.

My birds go to my boyfriend because birds like to stand tall. Could it be part of the reason?

The way Eva looks stares at my husband is…a little off putting. She just looks at him with love. For two seconds before Wally flies in between them and breaks it up haha. That’s their game…who can be closer to their person.
