I've noticed recently we've been getting more and more posts on tricky topics. Most of us wish these situations would have never happened in the first place, but the amazing ones reach out, work with the situation, and try to improve things.
I just want to thank the members of this forum:
The former and current breeders who understand to triage the situation when it comes to baby parrots' lives at risk, offering advice without judgment. Those who warn preemptively, but accept the situation when advice is not taken and work to help where they can. Even when the same advice is repeated over and over again for different OPs, the patience is astonishing to see.
The members who speak from their own experiences and mistakes, able to be humble enough to acknowledge their past and hopefully advising others to learn from their mistakes. Those who connect with OPs in tricky situations and help them not feel so alone.
The members who lend their perspectives and knowledge, seeking to bridge a gap between the OP and other members commenting. Those whose empathy and understanding sometimes touches enough to change minds and assumptions.
I also want to thank our amazing moderators. You guys always step in, occasionally doling out tough love to the bullheaded of us, but more often than not, you guys celebrate even the smallest of achievements with every single member on the forum - new and old. I know you have to keep mum on certain things you personally disagree with to remain an impartial mod, and I respect th out of you guys for that. And still, you keep careful watch over us, deftly mediating situations most of us would get too hot-headed about (at least, I know sometimes I have to close a thread tab before reopening and responding nicely).
Keep being awesome
