Cuddly species of birds

[Elizebird]

I don't think a bird could be more cuddly than my SC2.

Even when eating, in the middle of playing or talking, my too will stop immediately for any head scratches. He's gone up to an hour of just standing still and adjusting his head/neck for scritches, and if I stop, he'll make little squeaks, nudge and gently beak my fingers until I start again! Or until he gives up.

He's also very comfortable with anyone touching his anywhere - though I don't reccommend it, he will lift his wings to be pet, and I can pet his feet, legs, belly, back, wing muscle and feathers and he'll gladly soak it all in!

I have two budgies. Yoshi likes to be pet on his back a couple times usually. He lets anyone pet him but never for long. Yet, I wouldn't consider him cuddle as he never really gets too close to me unless he's on my shoulder or kissing my face.

I have another budgie named Cocoa. She's a very fluffy little birdy. She doesn't like to be pet by anyone. But sometimes, she gets scared by something and then she comes to me for some cuddles. Then I can pet her and hold her close to me. I would consider her cuddly.

I have a Senegal parrot and he likes head scratches a ton but I definitely would not consider him cuddly. I got him at about 5 months old and he was Very shy. Perhaps if I got him younger he would be more comfortable with touching and cuddling. I was frustrated at first because i ultimately wanted a cuddly bird but he is just great in his own way, tons of fun to trick train and play with.

I have been considering another bird and plan on trying to pick a cuddlier one. Considering a or a ...Leaning towards the because I can handle the nips and for safety reasons. Although I wont have them out together if they dont get along, i feel like in the case of an accidental interaction, the will have a better chance.

My meyer's parrot Momo is insanely cuddly, but only with me. He loves to snuggle with me in blankets and will often wedge himself into any crevice between me and my pillow. My white face cockatiel Chiquita also will snuggle against the face of whoever is petting him, but you have to "remind" him first that cuddling is fun by catching him before he tries to fly away.

Peanut loves to hide in long hair. SHe likes people with long hair and camps out in it. She'll lean on your neck and give little birdie kisses. <3
