I'm pretty sure it did impact Trico's behavior. In an interview with Glixel, Ueda mentioned that Trico actually has hidden barometers for hunger and trust, unrelated to main quest progression. So all of the pats, tidying up his feathers, cleaning the blood, removing spears, feeding him barrels outside of sections where you needed to in order to progress, all of that had a direct impact on your relationship.
My Trico was also very responsive in all 3 playthroughs so far.

It's a fantastic read, really recommend it.
Kind of, it's not as much autogenerated as it is a blank slate that will progress depending on your interactions. But the starting point is always the same, you can't get Trico misbehaving just because you were unlucky.So earlier when I said I was reading to much into it, I was actually right?
No wonder I never got why people had such a hard time making trico obey them
I never had any major issues with giving orders.
Very memorable game but the terrible controls, performance, and AI will probably ensure that I never play it again. Which is sad considering Shadow of the Colossus is one of greatest games of all time.
