Clio86,
I have a bird friend but I would never call him a "pet". Yet he comes to visit and "chat" with me every day, and it's of his own free will. He has done for two years. He obviously likes my company. We have a nice relationship.
I have seen him swoop in from quite a distance across my back field as soon as he catches sight of me in the kitchen window in the morning (as I'm drawing water for my coffee)
It is so lovely to be greeted by a wild bird in that happy way.
He's a Crow. He chose me...I didn't choose him. I don't even know why he chose to be my friend.
I think these things can happen. Usually humans are too pre-occupied to notice. But start noticing, and you never know which bird will take a liking to you!
Robins are also extremely friendly, and will come to their name, or if you whistle them, when they get to know you.
Of course, a small healthy treat is always welcome! Crows will eat all sorts. Robins particularly like meal-worms.
