Parrots: where 'I love you' means 'let me regurgitate my lunch for you.'
Instead of offering chocolate or flowers, parrots reinforce their bond by bringing up partially digested food to feed to their mate, it’s a way of showing care and providing nourishment, like how a parent bird would feed its chicks.
It might not be the most romantic gesture for humans, but for parrots, it's a sign of mutual affection and care within a bonded pair of parrots.
What’s the vote…Romantic or Gross?!
