I LOVE my grey's smell, he never ever smells bad and he is tame enough for me to cradle him and smell his belly and kiss under his wings which is my favourite thing to do when he lets me.
mmmmmmmm mmm if cute could be a smell, thats what he would smell like

Hi there, i also like the smell of my parrot, i have noticed that when i fed my parrot zupreem she smelled like the friut colouring which i did not like, now i feed her harissions and she has a normal bird smell, sort of dusty and clean.
My green cheeked conure just smells like a "bird" (the same smell as the lovebird and Quaker parrot I had growing up) whereas my brown-headed parrot smells like a flower. When I say he smells like a flower I really mean it. He's fragrant in the most lovely way. It's not an overpowering smell, it's very delicate, but it's strong enough that you can smell it from maybe 6 inches away.
Jazz only eats fresh, sprouts and a bit of seeds, so I think that's why he smells really nice. He smells like what he eats, sometimes blueberries, strawberries, etc.
Charlie, the DYH Amazon I like to hang out with at the pet store has an interesting, musty kind of a smell that I actually really like. I may have to pre-emptively check into bird-sniffers anonymous.
Zoey has what I can only describe as a musty-slash-very-mild-bleachy-kinda-smell, which I certainly don't mind at all; but I gotta admit that I don't make it a habit of sniffin' my birds feathers
