I Am...

I love this! Am going to copy/paste it on another forum that's seeing an uptick in people looking to rehome their birds for absolutely ridiculous reasons.

Too true!

When I joined these forums I had gone through the thought process of whether I was the best caregiver for Alfie and whether he would be better off in a different home. I was living alone and working crazy hours plus studying and not giving him the attention he needed or deserved. I spoke with family and friends at great length but every time I thought about giving him.uo it reduced me to tears.

Instead, I knew I had to make some big changes in order to improve things for Alfie. It wasn't his fault that I chose to study whilst working full time. It wasn't his fault that I was taking more on at work and therefore working longer hours. It wasn't his fault that his cage wasn't in the best place in the house.

It's been a journey and I am still trying to do my best for Alfie. He's been with me since he was 11 weeks old and he's now 15 years old. We have many more years together and I am always trying to improve the time we have together and his environment. I am by no means perfect but I am trying.

I know I would have instantly regretted giving him up and I'm pleased that I made the decision to stay.

I am also glad that I found these forums around that time as it has been a massive help along the way. 😊
