While people definitely can become friends with parrots and some intelligent birds like ravens and crows, it can be way harder to become friends with wild birds.
At the same time, it doesn't mean that friendship is impossible - you should just be patient and persistent.
Let's find out more about how to make birds trust and like you more.
While wild birds generally do not develop the same type of companionship or friendship with humans as domesticated pets, it is possible to establish a positive relationship with them based on trust and mutual respect.
Wild birds can become accustomed to human presence and may even visit bird feeders or gardens regularly if they feel safe and find a reliable food source.
With patience and consistent behavior, some individual birds may become comfortable enough to approach humans or even take food from their hands.
However, it's important to remember that wild birds are still primarily driven by their instinct for survival and maintaining their natural behaviors.
Building a connection with wild birds should prioritize their well-being and respect their wild nature, allowing them to retain their independence and avoid causing them stress or harm.
