I adopted 2 budgies a couple days ago, and I had been thinking about it for about a month (after my previous budgie passed away). I thought I was ready for the commitment, but I don’t think I am. I want to bring them back to the shelter I got them from, (The ARL, they have a 30 day refund policy), but I feel so bad. I’m a high schooler, and I’m pretty busy.
My mom brought me to the shelter and did all the paperwork, and I feel so terrible just turning back around and telling her “I want to bring them back.”
The birds are super social, and super friendly, and I dont have the time that they seem to want me to spend with them. I know that moving them around can be so stressful though and I don’t want them to be stressed.
And I feel bad for the shelter. They rarely get birds, and they had just gotten an intake of 7 males, 5 females, and a bonded pair of 2 males. I was one of the last people, leaving 2 females that got adopted the next day.
I’m so embarrassed but i dont think I’m ready for the commitment, even though I thought I was.
