Hi From Johannesburg South Africa

[Russell]

Hi there all you bird lovers. I have a CAG. She has been with me for close to 20 years now. I am leaving the country in a couple of weeks time and I am agonizing over what to do with my grey. I cannot possibly take her with me.

I can't even imagine having to make that decision. Can someone foster her until you return, or will you not be returning? Perhaps a sanctuary in the interim if you can't find the right person to care for her?

The move is intended to be permanent and taking her with is impossible.
As far as I know, she was hand reared from young and thinks herself to be more human than bird.

Are there any sanctuaries nearby that you could surrender her to?

What about friends/family that might be willing to take her in?

I couldn't imagine ever having to make that decision. It can't be easy.
