The thing about parrots I really enjoy is the fact that you have to work at your relationship with them. It's not like a dog or any other domestic animal that will love you unconditionally no matter what (don't get me wrong, I LOVE my relationship with my dogs). You really have to work on building mutual trust and respect with a parrot, it's a really rewarding relationship.
I also really like how intelligent they are. Whether it's a tiny bird like a budgie or a huge hyacinth macaw they are just so smart. They can learn so many different behaviors and interact with you on a way that most other animals can't. They're intelligence is also something I dislike, they're quite crafty, they can easily outsmart their owners

There's also just something great about having a parrot in your life. I can't put it in words, but I wouldn't live without one
