Like with chickens if they see you when they are little they actually believe you are their mom so you get an actual parental style bond with them....they come to you by instinct.....so the place I go you can pick them as babies and play with them and so does the shop owner so they get socialized when little. If they don't see people when little they are just wild and very hard to train to touch or even eat the right veggies etc. My bird really had no idea she was a bird....she was afraid of sparrows and would hide next to me even though they are smaller. She thought she was a tiny person I think
