Hi,
My IRN is in the lounge room. There is one rule, I am the only one who lets him out. (had problem with a previous bird
![Sad :(](./images/smilies/2.gif)
)
Smokey is completely bonded to me and will not let me go anywhere in the house without him, however, he loves my son who is 19. Dale has taught him games and tricks and he will take food from him. He won't step up for Dale or let him pat him but will sit on his shoulder and kiss.
Smokey likes my partner, Brett. He calls out to him ( Breeeeeeeeet LOL ). He will take food from him, share icy poles, play and kiss, but will not let Brett touch him.
I am the only one Smokey follows, allowed to pat and cuddle, and of course he plays and eats with me. I am his food provider and cage cleaner. We play games and chat.
What I am essentially saying is, Smokey is my bird yet he is very social with the rest of the family. As already said by ellieelctrons, your bird will bond to who they choose. Sometimes I think Smokey has bonded more with my son, but it's not that at all. Some days he would just rather play with Dale than me

for what ever reason.
