My husband and daughter both say that I spoil Rio and Kai (pineapple green cheeks) too much. I think they resent the time and effort (and money) I expend on my fabies. True I spend alot of time on the internet (avian ave. etc.) because I am always looking for ways to enrich my fiddos lives. I spend ALOT of time with them outside their cages and I spend alot of money on toy parts because I make my own. They don't understand that making them is WAY cheaper. I know that I am "all about" my birds. I take pics of them almost daily and my Facebook is very pic heavy. I think everyone at work gets tired of hearing what new things my fabies did last night! I try to include my daughter (14 years old) in bird care and teaching her to handle the birds. Kai was supposed to be her bird but after being bitten severely one too many times, she refuses to have anything else to do with her. Kai has now become bonded to me (she will still bite the crap out of me but I endure it). Rio is completely bonded to me to the exclusion of everyone else. My hubby could care less about having birds and rarely interacts with them but when he does, Kai has never bitten him. Rio flies away from everyone but me. I try to balance time with my human family and time with my birdy family, spending time watching tv and everything together as a family (including the fids in this family time as well). Does anyone else have family members that complain about the amount of time and energy you spend with your birds?
