Went to visit my future adoptees!

Critterman..Nobody who knows birds faults you for doing this! It would be far worse for you to keep them, and not be able to care for them properly. I have taken in many birds in my life, and have always been glad to do so when the owner made a good decision. It's only when birds are abused, neglected or mistreated that we feel upset. You are doing the right thing by them, and we all respect you for that. As an older guy, I worry about a similar situation for my babies. I've slowed down my rescue work, but, still have my forever flock to worry about. Thank goodness a lifetime of bird rescue has given me a large network of friends who I know I can trust to care for my birds, if needed.

I am the owner of the 2 Greys that Safira is taking. I am very glad and grateful that she is taking them and I know she will give them a great home. This decision has been very hard for me to make and it will be heart breaking to see them leave my home and my life. It will not be something I will get over easily or soon. They are like my children and have filled my life with lots of love and whistles and kisses and constant talking that I will miss forever. Due to serious health issues and some personal ones the time was right to do this now. Again I am grateful that they are going to a good home and will be loved as much as I love them. I hope that some of you here will not think bad of me for doing this or think I was a bad owner. I did the best I could and I love them very much. I am also grateful to Rios Mom for helping me to place them. I am sorry it did not work out for her to get them when she wanted them but I just wasn't ready mentally or emotionally to do it them and no bad reflection on her as she is a wonderful person. Again thanks Rios Mom! Please pray for me during this hard time of losing my beautiful girls. Thanks, Critterman

My heart aches for you brother. I know how hard this decision must have been and even harder to watch them leave. But hopefully you can keep in touch with the new owner and receive periodic updates on their condition.

Good luck with your health issues and other issues, hopefully it will all work out for you.
