My parrotlet only likes me. How do I get her to like my family?

Question

My parrotlet will only let me hold her and not anyone else in our family. What can I do to make her be more friendly to people who aren't me? Pet's info: Bird | Unknown - Bird | Female | 3 years and 11 months old

Hi! Since you and Blu-ray have an established positive relationship, you can help encourage positive interactions with other people in the house by having those other people take on certain roles in Blu-rays care. For example, other people in the family can be the ones to feed Blu-ray or spitz her with water if that’s something she enjoys. Additionally, if she has any favorite food items, then those items should be exclusively given to her by other family members. That way, she only ever received her favorite treats from the people you are hoping she will bond more with. I hope this was helpful. If you would like to discuss this in more detail, don’t hesitate to request a consult. Good luck!
