- One cockatiel from a breeder, one cockatiel rescued. One lovebird rescued and currently adopting one cockatoo :D
Ok so this is a bit of a long story and I would really appreciate any help or advice anyone can give me!
So- currently I don't have any large birds, but I work at a vet and I volunteer at an exotic bird rescue. Needless to say one of these amazing birds picked me stole my heart. So a little background- I have chronic migraines and tension headaches which medicine doesn't seem to be able to control, it's all stress triggered. I am soon to be engaged and will be married in two years, when my now boyfriend graduates from college. Now this triton too named Taco was heavily abused in his previous home. He repeats things like "I'm ganna beat you birdbrain" and "Taco's a sick b******" he is over weight because he was fed pizza on a regular basis and he has breathing problems because they smoked around him, he even asks for cigarettes. But he is the sweetest thing when he is around me. He will sit in my lap and talk and cuddle for hours, he has even stepped up for my boyfriend (he is the second man he has ever done that for because he was abused by a man). Now, back to my headaches, when I spend time with Taco, they go away. It was the first time in months that I had experienced what it felt like to be without pain. Taco and I would be saving each other.
Now my problem/question is this: is it easy to find an apartment that will allow him? I don't want to adopt him now and then not be able to care properly for him in the future. My boyfriend just wants to know that we will be able to have him when we get an apartment or townhouse and how much tritons cost a month on average so we can plan ahead. I don't want to keep him from a good forever home if that's what's best for him, I just want to know the facts to know if I can be that home.
