I know parrots feel love. I think you would have to be blind to not realize that they do.

I agree 100%! People talk about not been scientifically proven but then, human love cannot be scientifically proven, either, can it?

Cats bring you gifts, too. I feed ferals and, every now and then, I would find a dead mouse (and once, a rat!) left smack in the middle of the empty dish where I had put the food out for them. It was their 'hostess gift' to me :D

I had a toy poodle once who woud catch rats and drop them at my feet as a "gift" But the worst love gift I ever got was when my Red Belly was on my shoulder and I was yakking away to my daughter and my Red Belly managed to pop some of her regurgitated food in my mouth. ewwww....I didnt appreciate that show of love.
