This is something that makes me sad…

I come across a lot of parrots for sale. I was actually looking for ideas for an outdoor aviary (hand built to save $$). These types of ad’s I come across make me incredibly sad. I have a parrot (Nico) who feather plucks. I don’t think anything in this world is going to change it. He’s still a great parrot. Nextly if a parrot feather plucks for a long period of time more then likely the feathers won’t grow back. It makes it even harder for that parrot to find a loving home. I hope this African Gray can find a permanent home. I wish I could take on more parrots. All 3 of mine are Velcro parrots which takes up a lot of my time.

I just needed to vent… it’s hard to read about people getting rid of their parrot for feather plucking.

Oh @kme3388, my heart breaks right along with yours! I've never had a parrot that plucks, and i can only imagine the heartache that goes along with having one that does. But I would never in a billion years ever consider giving up on him or her if I did! Poor baby, I pray they find a loving home too 💝

Ugh! Well, y'all know me and the special place in my heart for the "less than perfect" parrots. I do think they make up for the appearance in their personalities. Even if they continue plucking forever, showing a troubled soul what love is is soooooo worth it in my experience. ❤️

That poor grey! You have to wonder though. We all know CL is full of scammers and flippers, so, is this bird even real? Is this story legit, or a made up tug at heart strings to make money? Is this person so lame that they'd dump a family member just because they don't look perfect, or are they actually concerned and want a better life for him? Whatever the truth is, it's sad all the way around.

I hope you are right, and that this is a fake ad
