That is not funny. You are teaching your bird some habits that will become a problem for you. Do not promote dominance in your bird.

its only a pet. shes attatched to my mum and my mum is a softie just like her. plus shes still only a baby.

If my african grey parrot tries to get on my head I take it as an attack on my superiority. I think the parrot is trying to say "I'm in controle of you, but you're not in controle of me". I was told that parrots mesure their place in the family after how high up they are. My parrot never gets to do this, and kind of don't think it's funny :s but hey, that's just me!

[MagalufPartyAnimal]

yes that is just you.

I can asure you that its not a good idea to learn the bird to sit on top of the head. If it get used to that it will prefer to sit on that place and wont accept to sit on the shoulder, since they like being in the highest spot. Just a friendly advice.

You shouldn't let it do that. It will become dominant and aggressive, and bite and peck at you. If I were you, I would stop this behavior as soon as possible. You may think that it's cute now, but trust me, you won't later. Don't let it get to the point where they feel they are higher on the ladder than you. You'll regret it.

This is a trouble bird in the making if you allow her to dominate people like that. never keep your bird on your head or shoulder. it will go wrong one day and when you got a face full of scars its not that funny anymore.. And you cant blame the bird when it happens because a bad owner gives a bad bird, simple as. if it goes wrong you got yourself to blame..

Lovely bird but I don't find this funny at all, she needs training before someone gets hurt.

Be careful the parrot might poke at your eyes in the future. Don't let it get used to these kinds of games.

My 17 year old is the exception then. He rides on my shoulder on a leash in a harness, he was not raised doing this -- he's a rescue. When I take the leash off he hops off my shoulder and onto the back of the sofa (which is lower in relation to the shoulder). Not all birds have dominance issues, even if mine is a brat because the flight feathers are coming back in, he has never bitten anyone in the face and I've never worried he will. I also dremel his beak 3x a week, he loves it when I do that.

Just curious..do you still have this bird? Have you stopped letting it sit on heads etc?
