My wife always wanted a bird so 2-1/2 years ago I got her a baby Quaker for her birthday. Well it was obvious the bird was going to bond with me and not her so I backed way off so she could have him bond with her. He's used to me of course. I am the only person he will let take him off her finger. But, whenever I take him out of the cage he has to jump down to the floor. Sometimes 2 or 3 times, but always at least once. And he's usually ready to get right back on my finger and stay there.
Anyone know what's up with that behavior? I also take him to the kitchen when I am cooking and feed him treats. My wife never does this. For what that's worth. I don't know if that matters or not.

my mom used to keep little birds like parakeets and other small tropical birds.
they where messy and annoying and if anyone besides her tried to touch them they would bite you.
she would let them out of their cages and they would flock around her.
so i guess birds can form some sort of bond with their handler/master.

Well I ain't first class
But I ain't white trash
I'm wild and a little crazy too
I have seen a lot of things in my life time.
That is why I walk the line I walk.

You guess they can? It's actually very well known.

I've had a few cockatiels, I've never had one that insisted on jumping to the floor after I picked it up, usually they just wanted to climb up my arm and peck at my earings and chew my hair.

You listed about 6 behaviors. Which one?
I've raised dozens of parakeet from egg to new home.
Generally, with parakeet and other similarly related tropical birds, they form a bond with 1 person only.

Well, I thought I was describing how he always feels like he has to jump down to the floor then is more than wiling to come back up on my finger. I don't really know what the other 5 were I listed.
