Hi Everyone.
Iām new here,so I apologize if I make mistakes with the threadš.
I own an Orange Winged Amazon- Jonty. He is my baby and I love him to bits! I bought him using my savings when I turned 16 (Iām 18 now) and I donāt regret it one bit!
I am however a little worried as to what I will be doing next year.
Iām in South Africa and in my last year of school. I really want to go to university (Iām interested in the veterinary field),but I donāt know if I should take Jonty with or leave him with my parents?
The university that I want to go to,is about 1500 km away from home,so regular visits will be impossible. I will only be home during holidays.
I considered taking him along,but Iām afraid that he wonāt be getting all the attention he needs as I may be really busy at Uni.I also donāt want to be kicked out of my apartment because of his flock calls!
He is bonded to my mom as well and he will be getting all his fruits/veggies,etc, so leaving him behind is an option,but Iām scared that he will forget/hate me and that the strong bond we currently have will forever be broken/lost! Iām also afraid of plucking..
I did all the necessary research before I got Jonty (correct diet,housing,toys,interaction,training,vet visits etc.)- but uni was not on my mind at all!
I do not regret getting Jonty at ALL!
I feel really bad for having to leave him behind or not being able to give him all the love and cuddles he needs!
Please help with advice?
