You should not let birbs sit on your shoulder, because they take your "face" to be you more than the rest of your body, so if they are sitting "as high" as you are, they can get rebellious thinking that you're beneath them on the pecking order. However, knowing he's doing it with FOOD as a positive reinforcement and to appease the birb's comfort level? He's fucked.
It is a bad habit bird owners have because they see like parrots on pirate shoulders and their shoulders are wide and easily gripped by birbs and think it's a good thing. Birds want to be generally as high as they can get for a reason. The top rung of the birbs in the flock sit highest and therefore least likely to be in danger. They're young right now, so they can still be broken of this habit, but it is a bad idea to let that continue.
Unless either Chance or Vei want their cheeks bitten regularly by aggressive birbs vying for dominance.
