I'm new to this forum but not 100% new to feather babies. I recently rescued a scarlet macaw and a shamrock macaw. Having big feather babies back in my home have brought back many memories of my Kramer-baby, a Moluccan Cockatoo, that I had to sadly re-home years ago.
It would have been around 2000-2004. I was in Huntingtown, MD. I had my baby for many years and he was very sweet. He would lay on my chest and fall asleep to me singing "You are my sunshine". I finally became engaged and moved in with my fiance and Kramer was not his biggest fan. Every day when he came home, Kramer would attack him. He would stomp his cute little foot, crest all tall, wings out, and scream at him. It caused such tension in the home and I was given an ultimatum. Sadly, I choose the wrong male to keep in my life.
The day Kramer left, I sobbed. I sobbed for weeks on end. I didn't charge anything for him, his cage, or his toys as all that mattered to me was him finding a good loving home.
I would be cleaning the house months later, find a feather, and start my sobbing all over again. I'm getting teary-eyed now just writing this. He was my 1st love, my first baby. I had visions of when I got married, that I would have my Kramer-bird walking down the isle with everyone.
The lady that came broke my heart that day but I don't think she even realized it. As she was carrying him out, she said, "Come with momma", and that broke my heart because I was his momma; not this strange lady that was taking him.
I am blessed that she took him and can only hope he was happy.
I've seen on this forum where someone has to re-home a baby and everyone keeps asking them if they are really sure they want to do that. They tell the person to sit down and talk to your baby and make sure that is what is best for both of you. I really wish I had someone to say that to me that day.
I am not looking for Kramer for any other reason than to see how he's doing and if he's happy. Pictures would be awesome. I'm hoping someone recognizes my story and I can just be assured that he is good.
I don't even have photos of him from before as I finally left that relationship very abruptly and had to make the choice to leave everything behind as I just needed to get away from that relationship. It kills me to think I choose an abusive man over a loving child so long ago.
I plan to make up for it with my two new babies who will never go anywhere else but with me but I will never forgive myself for that decision made years ago.
