Bird is the actual master?

My bird has conditioned me to almost be able to read his thoughts. He'll grip my fingers in a certain way and I'll know to take him to the toilet to poop. He'll chirp and I'll know that he's thirsty. He'll stand next to a bottled food and look at me and I'll know that he wants to eat it.

Sometimes i wonder who's the smarter of the two.

But then again, he's road-dumb and cannot find his ways at all.

Then again, me too. Eh.
