Yes they all have their individual characters, and things they like, and things they don't.
The only brds I have ever tried to pick up were any wild ones who were injured, etc. To take them to the wildlife rescue. And of course no wild bird likes that. But once I found a Blackbird completely entangled in wire. She had to have a great deal of handling, in order to free her, and the wire had pierced her wing, so we had to be so careful.
We got her freed, into a box, and to a woman in town who ran a wild bird rescue. We went to visit her a couple of times, and she was not scared of being handled at all by the lady who had to give her antibiotics regularly and had sutured her wound. Eventually we were able to release her back to the same place. She was still 'wild' and happy to go yet had been quite calm about being handled.
But even some pet birds don't like to be touched too much.
