can my parakeet be attached to me and a bird

Question
I have this albino parakeet and when I'm at school it is down stairs with my mom so she can make sure it is alright throughout the day.Well my mom has this pet robin and I kinda scared that she may get attached to the robin and not to me.From what people has told me that once you put a bird with another bird and it gets attached to it you can't touch it cause it would put the bird in shock and it die so how can I get my bird attached to me?

Answer
You can't stop birds becoming attached to each other- it is selfish to keep them apart with no company so it will become more attached to you. I know it sounds awful but because you are at school all day you wont be able to give the parakeet the attention he needs to become attached to you. Touching the bird will not put it into shock! Whoever told you that doesn't know much about birds.

Thanks for your question.
