I've been thinking about this for awhile, having too many parrots. People are surprised when I say I have nine. I care for them all to my fullest capability, I love having a flock dynamic with the budgies, and when I don't want to play with Tom who's crazy energy is fun and wonderful but exhausting I can go to Tony who prefers to just sit with me and ask for a scritch every once in awhile. The cockatiels really want nothing to do with me, the budgies are about the same, sometimes Striga likes to check me out to see if I'll give him some millet.
Other times I think of how much more I could do for them if I only had one or two birds but I could never ever rehome any of them. I care for them all well, it doesn't overwhelm me but I do see the appeal in having only one. I could've provided a small paradise for one bird. They all have more than adequate food, toys, and love from me.
I just want people to know that I can.
I don't really know why I made this thread, this just bothers me sometimes and I wanted to say it to people who I know will understand, everyone else is like their just birds you know.
