Talon Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Well guess what? I received a phone call tonight. There is a woman living about 10 miles away from me in her late 60's who unfortunately has fallen ill and needs to move in with family. She has a 4 year old grey that she has had since a baby and can't take her. She had an amazon that has been re homed. Se wants a loving home for her grey....doesn't care about $$. I can't let this poor bird go to just anyone.....:ohmy: :( :huh: :dry: SO...........am I crazy............ :S I have 2, 3 year old greys already.............:pinch: When I told my 16 year old daughter that I only have 2 shoulders, not 3, she said, "but Mom, I have 2!" How can I argue with that? :blink: Well........I will be calling her tomorrow but wanted someone to remind me how crazy I am.......but I can't let a bird be homeless.....this bird deserves a forever home, and that's all I can offer.

judygram Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Go for it, you can always put it on your head, I know you are crazy but I also know you want this bird, go get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaxtersMom Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Somehow I don't think we find our birds...I think they find us. If a lovely grey has crossed your path and needs a home I think you should seriously consider it. I know you only have two shoulders but your head will make a nice perch, too. Atleast my birds think so :laugh: I have 4 (only one grey) and feel that is my limit at the moment. When I had 3 it didn't seem like any extra work or effort. I would go for it. I know what you mean when you say "Can't let it go to just anyone" It sounds like you have a connection to it too. Have you met the grey yet?

lovethatgrey Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 I think you are crazy but I think you have a great heart at the same time. Are you sure you wish to take on the extra grey. There are only so many hours in a day. Seriously, only you can make this decision. Goodluck:) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 Thanks everyone! Your all crazy too! :laugh: :laugh: Her name is Akela. I was told it was African and meant beautiful. I have not seen her yet, it wouldn't make a difference what she looks like or how she behaves. She needs a loving happy home, and that's what she'd get here. B) I will be calling this woman today....she wants to make sure the bird goes to a loving, nice environment. I'll keep everyone posted.

Talon Posted March 31, 2009 Author Share Posted March 31, 2009 UPDATE: I called the woman today, and she has changed her mind. She said she can't give her 2 birds up as they are like her children. She is putting them in travel cages and driving them out to Kentucky from MA. So, I'm happy that they get to stay with their family, and if it was meant to be, then it would have happened differently. :cheer: :cheer: I can breath a sigh now.......:huh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue09 Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 You are right Talon, if it was meant to be it would have happened. Or.........just maybe........it was the daddy of all birds preparing you for the fact that you are about to become a parront again to some needy grey!! We will watch the space.

Luvparrots Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Your heart was in the right place Penny and that's what counts. I'm glad the lady figured out a way to keep her companions. Karma to you for your big and warm heart!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Well Penny I know you are disappointed but you are right, it would have happened differently if it was meant to be, who knows another chance might just come your way sometime in the future for we just don't ever know do we.
