Hi there! I'm new here. I started looking for a place to get some advice and found this forum.
I have a 32 yo Amazon Red-Lored named Guido. He was my Dad's bird from 1991 until Dad passed away in 2017. I had promised my Dad when he brought Guido home (I was 16 at the time) that I would take care of him if anything ever happened to Dad.
In the later years of Dad's life, he wasn't well and didn't socialize Guido nearly as much as he did in the bird's earlier years. I intended to bring Guido out more however, I ran into a complication. My husband of 10 years is deathly afraid of birds. He freaks out when he comes into the house and I have Guido out on my desk or walking around on the floor. Now that my husband is work-at-home, I cannot bring Guido out at all without the spouse wigging out.
I'm feeling so badly about Guido that I've honestly thought about rehoming him because I want him to have the best life the little green dude can have.
I open to any ideas (outside of getting rid of the hubby, I'm rather fond of him).
TIA for any suggestions.
