LNCAG, Thank you for sharing. I appreciate the concern & respect you shared. MY heart breaks for you, knowing in your heart you are doing the best for Snickers..try & find some comfort in that. I pray for you & Snickers. ❤️ I have met with an Elder Lawyer. I want to avoid any will and probate, so most everything is in a trust. I have a verbal agreement with my daughter as to how she will handle my 3 if they outlive me and are still here . I have complete trust in her and I know she will honor my wishes and do what is best for them at that time.

@neoowThe euthanasia option probably does seem extreme; I get it because the thought of your dear parrot living but being unhappy is horrific. I am realizing now how extremely blessed I am that I have a nearby sanctuary I trust. I truly had no idea how rare such places really were. I was typing if I had a magic wand I'd wish everyone had a good sanctuary nearby (but I backspaced), realizing I'd instead I'd use that wand to make everyone here healthy forever instead so they could keep their parrots! I called the guy there at my sanctuary and have set it up for my Snickers to go in mid-April. So I am fairly sad at the moment. Yet hopeful for my Snickers. I have serious PAD in my right leg -- my leg is dying. I've got other serious health concerns, but my mobility is my main concern. I can barely walk these days, and I need to see my boy settled and happy. Happy most of all for Snickers, though perhaps not happy for me. I will miss and grieve for Snickers. Without the sanctuary. euthanasia would be a serious consideration otherwise. I just don't want my guy to be unhappy. I owe him a good life after me.
