Do Pet Birds Usually Only Like One Person?
My friend had a parakeet, not a Budgie, a Parakeet. To watch them interact was heartwarming. My friend would say, “Give me a kiss Larry” (the bird’s name) and Larry would give him a kiss. Wherever he was, my friend would just call, “Hey, Larry!” and Larry would come. But Larry only liked my friend. Not his wife, not his kids, not his friends. Only my friend. Is this usually how it is with pet birds?

As a kid we had many cockatiels (I think that’s how you spell it) anyway it varied from bird to bird they each had their own little personality. One bird liked everyone, the second one we had only preffered a few people and the last one we had hated everybody. I think it just depends, try asking your local pet store sometimes they are pretty knowledgeable about that kind of thing.
It depends…I have an african grey that’s 9 months old and i had heard that they attach to just one person. But when he met my boyfriend he took to him very well and he loves us both. With others whom he doesnt know or see often he is standoffish and hides behind one of us.
