Thank you, Clive! Actually, I got confused; I meant between "trustful" and "trustworthy". So the difference is that trustworthy can be only people? In my text, it was about pigeons...

Here is the sentence:
The Sultan employed thousands of spies and secret agents; the ones he considered most ... being the hundreds of caged parrots which were hung on street corners and trained to squawk if they saw a stranger.
I thought the missing word was "trustful".
Ah, it's about parrots, not pigeons

trustworthy the parrots deserve trust.

The Sultan trusts the parrots, so the Sultan is trustful (full of trust)
