Would you be so kind as to identify this random bird that landed on my shoulder? It's so cute and I love him
Also I'm a little concerned for it, as something like this isn't really normal? Maybe it needed help? The people around there said it kept flying to people nearby, should I do something?
Looks like a great kiskadee (Pitangus sulphuratus) to me! While this is being answered… months late… it's likely that this bird has been fed a bunch by humans and thus sees them as a source of food. Not much you can do in that situation other than not exacerbate it.

But being younger would also explain more brazen#-behavior like this. But I would chalk it up mostly to human interaction
