what's a pet that will sit on my shoulder?

Question

I want a pet that I can train to sit on my shoulder for a little while, or even just chill in my lap while I watch tv or something like that. Obviously I'd do other things with it and take care of it, but I really want something that will sit and chill with me. I used to have a hairless rat that would sit on my shoulder and she was just totally cool there. She would climb down when she had to use the bathroom, and I loved her so much, but she died so soon, so I really don't want to get more rats. Also, I'd prefer it if the pet didn't have sharp claws, 'cause you know.... yeah.... haha, any perfect pets come to mind? I thought of ferrets, but I don't know if they'd sit there very long...

Birds, specifically parrots or parakeets are very good for what you're asking for. They might not be the kind of pet you could love and have them show affection right off the bat, but they're worth it in the end.

Birds are great for sitting on your shoulder and if you keep their wings clipped then they will usually stay there.
Another good shoulder pet is a rat. They're super intelligent and respond to treats quite well. They are also quite affectionate and will give you lots of love once they've become accustomed to you!

Ferrets are like furry little two year olds. They want to run around and get into everything. Good luck getting one to sit still for more than a few seconds.
