I feel horrible

Also, I wanted to say you're in my thoughts and prayers that everything will be ok with the mass you mentioned. Big hugs! And don't feel the need to be a stranger, you have found a love for birds, and we would be happy to have you stick around even without a bird buddy of your own.
 
Thanks guys, everything worked out as it should. I have to say when I went to my daughter's this morning, it was pretty sad not to have him jump onto my shoulder and watch me make his breakfast. But when I see the mental image of his trembling and screaming when he saw his owner get out of that van, my heart is ever so happy for them both.

I am so happy it ended well.

As for now, there are no plans for a parrot. Who knows, one day I might decide to get electricity and consider a bird and if I do, it will be an Eclectus, they are perfect, beautiful, intelligent creatures. But for now, I love my life with no TV, Electric, Computer at home, no plumbing and running water. I would not trade it for anything...despite the heat. A bird like that would not be happy in my home. I am also happy to be a foster Mom for animals of all kinds. I have fostered flying squirrels, brown squirrels, raised various birds from eggs, snakes, turtles, lizards, possums, raccoons, deer, wild cats, skunks, cats, dogs, emu, guinea's, bats just many many things. I own goats, dogs and cats as well. We have little free time because of how we live and Parrots NEED time and attention. I would be happy to foster one for a bit, but could not keep one forever. I am a displaced animal magnet. lol Just this morning I was driving to work and a tree frog crawled across my face and hopped to my arm. I had to laugh....as I held it in my hand and drove to a Park to let it go. yeah I could have set it free in any tree in town, but it would be safer at a Park with lots of trees and a creek.

So no, I won't be getting a Parrot. I do plan to visit Max and see what his family thinks when he calls them Snot Face, Chitlin or screams NO MORE WIRE HANGERS!

Enjoy your lovely feathery family members and I will drop in to read once in awhile. I love seeing videos of your birds and hearing funny stories (like the one that got the keyboard destroyed).
 
Wow! What an amazing story, which also brought bittersweet tears to my eyes. I'm so much like you in so many ways. I too am the animal rescuer/healer/friend/home finder. Much to many of my friends and families dismay...I too am an animal magnet. (they call me an animal hoarder...I say definitely not!) I too...do not have TV (for the last 8 years)and have lived much like you for part of my life. I have a true appreciation and admiration for who you are. :)

Max was in your life for only a short time, but he brought such joy to you and enhanced your life in ways that most folks wouldn't be able to comprehend. And to know that you can go visit him...how AWESOME is THAT! :D

Such an awesome WIN WIN situation for you, Max and Max's family. They now know they have a dependable Ekkie Sitter when they want to take a vacation and you'll get to fulfill your "bird needs" once in a while with a bird who loves you back. :green2:

Thank you so much for sharing this story with us all.
