My brother has an African Grey. He’s asked me to take care of her for one month while he and my SIL went on their honeymoon. When he dropped her off, I asked ‘Where are her toys?’

He said ‘I never bought any toys for her. Waste of money.’

I thought that the bird might be bored so I bought her some toys from a pet shop. They might be the reason she started allowing me to pet her or it might be something else that made us grow closer during that time.

When my brother came back and saw how cuddly she got with me, he got upset since she’s not that affectionate with him and said that I ‘bribed her with toys’ to make her like me more than him. I told him that if it’s the toys then it’s not my fault he didn’t get her any, which upset him further. Only realized I was kinda mean with that jab afterwards. Am I the asshole?
