Pet Bird Species
It’s no surprise that many potential bird owners want a bird that is friendly, gentle, and well-suited to being a companion pet. These traits are even more important for anyone with little or no experience caring for pet birds. It’s easier to bond with and care for an animal that has a natural disposition for being friendly and affectionate than one that is frightful and aggressive. Every bird has a unique personality, individual birds can be nippy or difficult to tame, regardless of their species. While all pet birds have the capability to bite and cause a ruckus, certain species tend to be more friendly and gentle than others. When properly tamed and cared for, these birds often are affectionate with their caretakers and lack a propensity for biting. Some are fairly active while others maintain a more relaxed disposition.

It is a non-threat signal that cats use with each other as well as with humans they are comfortable with. You can send the same signal to your cat, slowly shutting and then opening your eyes. Chances are, your cat will return the cat-kiss eye blink.
