Sadly I do not bring good news..
While we did write the letter to the inspecting institution, now we can only sit and wait and hope they get a nice huge fine. Same chain of pet shop but a different location already was fined according to my friend, so I hope this might be a much bigger fine, if not even they get prohibited from selling animals.
As for the blue floof, well ... I cannot go against my partner. He really doesn't want to take him/her in. It hurts him as well, but we need to be realistic here. He is mostly worried about this war raging in the neighbouring country, and this news that a military drone fell in the capital od Croatia, my home country... Perhaps I am not meant to take this bird in. My heart aches so badly, but I really cannot go against his word and wishes. Another bird would mean another 20+year resposibility, aditional vet costs, and with all the prices skyrocketing... And quoting my partner: "You cannot save them all...Where do you draw the line?"
I'm quite espresso-depresso. But...i want to respect my partner. I need to. It's not a hamster we are talking about that only one person can take care of it, but rather both of us.
Also the point that buying the bird simply encourages the shop to get more birds later on. So best I can do is press the inspection to check them out.
