Not sure I can do it!

[Solo]

Phoebe is very quiet. She occasionally gets worked up and goes through a couple minutes of squawking, but nothing serious. She doesn't seek out things to destroy, but I also don't give her the opportunity to do so. Yes..they require time and attention, but I don't think there's anything about a Macaw to be intimidated by. You have been presented with a wonderful opportunity, but only you can decide what's best. Whichever choice you make I'm sure will be the best.

I am going to the bird store I got my conure at to handle his b & g.
Maybe get some insight into whether I think I can do it.

I wish it was not such a rehab project. I would be confident otherwise.

 

[Doublete]

I decided for many reasons to let him know to take Rudy to the store to place.

I don't think I'll ever be a macaw person. I love my conure because he's easy to take places and my amazon because she amuses herself (and me)

 

[Anansi]

The only "right" decision here was doing what felt right in your heart. And I think that's just what you did.

 

[Doublete]

That is very correct.
I hate change and having to change my whole living arrangement to make room for a toddler just wasn't appealing to me.

 

[itchyfeet]

Not easy. Good on you.

 

[AJBirds]

You seem to have taken the right decision for everyone involved!

 

[Doublete]

I hope she ends up being purchased by a responsible macaw owner from the store! But I'm going to go with out of sight out of mind.

I admire how responsible you were with this... really taking the time to think it through and being honest with yourself whether or not it would be a good fit in your life.

I think that many people would have been much more impulsive, and let their excitement and the fact that it would have been free, rule their decision.

You could at least feel that you did the right thing for "you" and your current happy flock. I couldn't have done it either, and I think that's okay.

 

[Doublete]

Thank you. I do know my limits sometimes.
I have my kiddos up late with me now since I was gone at work since 430. Usually if I get home at 10 I let them stay asleep. But I got home at 915. They can play for a bit

Quality time with the brats.

I completely agree!

All along you said you felt you were overthinking this decision, but I feel you gave it the serious consideration it deserved. Good for you! I hope you will never feel bad about making a decision that is the best for you and your flock.

 

[GreatBlue320]

Oops, I don't think I did the whole quote thing correctly. Sorry about that.

 

[StephenAndKyleigh]

Good job in going through the entire decision making process rather than jumping into it. Go you!

 

[Doublete]

Now she's on craigslist. Oi.

 

[JerseyWendy]

Now she's on craigslist. Oi.

Are you, or would you be willing to help him find a good home? You could list her on here. How much of a rehoming fee is he looking for? (NO, I'm not thinking about adding any)

 

[Doublete]

He didn't list a fee on the ad. I suppose I could contact him...
But you should

HA! I don't even know him, but you do, and he obviously trusts you.

 

[ToMang07]

for sale

Same one?

 

[AmyMyBlueFront]

Geeezz.. I love macaws! An old girlfriend had a magnificent B&G <Kasey> that went everywhere with Julie..and Kasey would climb up my arm and look me straight in the eyes..but he was <to me at least> VERY INTIMIDATING lol with that HUGE beak!!
But he would let me scratch his head and flip him upside down and rock him back and forth..still..he was intimidating.

Unfortunately,or not,I don't have room for another bird,and my household is content with Amy and Jonesy..

No I meant you should add one

And no sadly there are many b&gs that's not the same one
