They don't have pack leader mentality, so they won't see you like a dog would see you as its leader. It is easy to humanize some animals thinking they are capable of some of the emotions you have. Unfortunately, they're creatures of basic instinct. You *may* have a chance to get them to realize they are dependent on you if they have to do something specific (desired behavior) to get food and water. However, most of the time people will simply feed them once a day. They didn't ahve to do anything to get the food, so they don't equate a behavior with getting the food. "Oh I was in my cage and because I was here I got food" will not be passing through their minds.
