Firstly i apologize if this makes no sense, i am having issues making sense of it myself which makes it hard to type out! I am, just hoping someone has had a similar experience or can make sense enough to give me some advice.
Hmm.
Home feels incomplete, quiet and a bit lonely without a bird in the house, my dogs are keeping me sane... ish. While i am still hoping Barry returns i have glanced over the idea of getting another bird after Nelson anyway. It hasnt been very long, i know, which is why its been a thought but apart from keeping an eye on the bird listings nothing has been done about it. The lady i got Nelson from has offered me a male plum head or a female moustache and if i was offered a free bird a month ago, no questions i would have jumped at the chance. However it has been about a week since the offer and i still dont have an answer but i am having trouble figuring out the reason. Now im sure if i got one i would fall in love with it but a part of me says its not fair to get any old bird just for the sake of having a bird right? I havent had any experience with either species which makes me wary plus Nelson was my dream bird, how do i go from that to something i have never given much of a thought to? Maybe its just too soon? Both birds need a loving home, the plum head is a bit of a runt apparently and the moustaches mum plucked her in the nest. That gets me thinking maybe one of these birds needs me? The other thing is that the moustache is a female. All of my animals are male, i have always chosen male. Im not sure if its just in my head that i dont get on with female animals as well or if its actually true. I would love to even just go and meet the two birds but she lives a while away...
Anyone with experience with either a plum head or moustache? I would love to hear more about them.
I guess the question is do you think i should seriously consider one of these little guys or just stay birdless for a while? I cant afford to buy another big bird right now (vets bills among others and after having just finished paying off Nelson) but even if i got another bird now i would still look at getting another big one once i have the money thing all sorted. I have two cages empty (hopefully one if Barry returns), a ton of food going to waste also. I just cant convince myself either way. My heart doesnt seem to be in either decision. I get home every day and feel empty with no bird but why have i not decided on one of the other birds i have been offered?
