Let's find out more!
In the wild, parrots often live in flocks and engage in a variety of behaviors, such as preening for each other, singing together, or performing tasks together.
These kinds of interactions help strengthen social bonds within a group and enhance a sense of belonging.
Likewise, parrots kept as pets can form strong bonds with their caregivers.
Through regular interaction, positive reinforcement, and training, parrots can develop deep attachments to their human companions.
They may display affectionate behavior, seek physical contact, and even learn to mimic words or behaviors to communicate and interact with their human "friends."
Parrots are known for their ability to recognize and remember people.
They may show preference for certain people, seek out their company and form what can be considered friendships.
It is important to note, however, that all parrots, like people, are unique individuals and have temperaments that can influence their social behavior and ability to form friendships.
