My gutt reactions are often overly emotional, can be harsh and I tend to be a little too quick to jduge, I'll admit. Based on the info supplied, I struggled to understand the reasoning behind Misty's decisions. Perhaps she can give us more info?
I disagree that we don't need to know the reason for rehoming her bird - how can we make recommendations without knowing the details? Granted, there are many many people on here with a lot more experience that I have but I've had my Percy for four months and I have made definate progress so I do feel I have some insights to share - especially considering how difficult my relationship with Percy was in the beginning.
I wouldn't give him up or give up on him after just a few months. From Misty's earlier posts, it seems that she's not had her lovie a long time. Did she give him enough time?
Sorry if I was harsh, I am just thinking of the poor birdie
Many people here instantly jump and 'attack' with the welfare of the bird at the forefront, which is understandable - we're all bird lovers here. But what people forget is that the person we're speaking to, is the bridge between us and that bird, ensuring that the welfare can maybe be improved, challenging behaviour tackled, etc. But we can't do that without the owner on board - who wants to stick around when all you're met with is frustration and anger from people? (As justified as it may be sometimes!)
Take some time to learn more about the person, coax them out of their shell, tell them that it's okay to ask for help, or feel helpless, but we can help them if they let us.
I want to know more about Mistys situation and the issues with the lovie. Maybe we can help.
