So, after last fiasco seeing if it was Jacob's owner, they never got back to me... I wonder if I can give up on finding his owner with good conscience?
Legally it's ten days, he has been reported to all the right authorities, ACC, the parrot rescues (both suffolk and nassau), Ive scavenged CL NY, NJ, CT, PA, he's listed on the sites as well as I have looked on them.. I even went to Newsday and looked at their lost and found (in case a little old person was using the paper as opposed to internet)
It's been about 4-5 weeks in total, and honestly I love the little guy, I don't think the landlord will give me problems for keeping him, cause first he was like ok if you don't find the owners you have to adopt him out since parrots can be so loud.. His grand daughter then wanted him and he ok'd that, I figured since she was young she'd grow tired of the responsibility (and I was right), now he has really grown on me, I've discovered that I plan around him like I do with the dog and lizards, and I am thinking that the landlord can't really say no now... Besides Knock wood, Jacob is fairly quiet, he has maybe 2-3 turns of 30 second screeching a day and that's it. He does get 2-3 hours of attention every day though where I play with him and the dog and I take him for walks when I walk the dog.
So as long as he don't start screaming a lot I don't think landlord will really care, and if he does my bf as already declared he will bring him to his place. Cause I am saving to buy my own house in three years anyhow which is nothing for a conure since they can live so long..
I want honest opinion, do you guys feel I can chip him and register him to me without feeling guilty? So far I have spent 600 on him (granted parrot stand was maybe not necessary but I couldn't resist) and I don't think anyone is going to want to reimburse me for Parrot care either.. Not that I'd expect the whole amount, but some of it since I had to ensure he was healthy etc..
