Swablu Ride On Their Parent's Back, They Find Comfort In Being Carried Around.

Swablu ride on their parent's back, they find comfort in being carried around.

That being said it's been seen in adult Altaria's also exhibiting this behavior towards people whom they view in a parental matter. There's been many documented cases of captive raised Altaria trying to have their trainers give them 'piggy back' rides (To much failure due to how large Altaria tend to be).

Altaria are known to greatly dislike being ridden, so in cases where Altaria have been seen having someone riding on their back it's likely the Altaria views that person as a 'hatchling' of theirs. But such cases are rare.
