Life update

[Freespin]

For those of you interested. So no news on Barry unfortunately. I still feel awful about being stupid enough to lose him. On top of that the boys at work were teasing me about my bad luck with the birds thinking it was hilarious. Obviously i didn't find it funny and was nearly in tears and had to get nasty before they realized they had taken it too far. Some people are so insensitive.

I have a new job. I start moving over the weekend and start work at the start of April. It's kind of in the middle of nowhere but oh well I don't get out much anyway. I am trying to get my racehorse sold before I leave but that's proving to be difficult. I have really fallen for the yellow napped Amazon I have mentioned before after multiple visits. Every time I go to see him I go there thinking maybe he isn't right for me and I should forget about him but especially after the latest visit I walked away feeling like there is no other bird for me. Problem being he isn't cheap and I'm relying on my horse selling to be able to buy him... No pressure. I can't stop thinking about max (burdy). When I last when to see him he was making thre cutest noises when I was giving him scratches.

I have been to meet some other bird species and while I really liked a few and have made some enquires I just can't seem to commit to anything else while Max is still a possibility.

Back to the new job. It's not exactly what I had in mind but it's a change. I will be changing codes from standardbreds to thoroughbreds. My partner got a job there and they offered me a job too so I thought why not.

Im so sorry about your bird looks like things are looking up though] I want to get a Yellow nape too. My zon in my flock now is one of my favorite birds I know these birds are so darn expensive !! I can see the price of the bird [Its the having to get the expensive cage too that kills me]

I'm sorry you still haven't found Barry yet....

I'm sorry you haven't found Barry too! I hope the change is good for you, though. There's nothing like a new start to move things along in life, I find. I hope you do get Max and find great happiness with him. Oh, and good luck with the new job!

I am sorry Barry has not shown back up... and sorry the guys you work with are a bunch of insensitive idiots... kick one in the crotch and ask if that was still funny... doubt the guys would still be laughing at their 'bad luck'...

I hope you are able to get the horse sold!! I will keep my fingers crossed that you find the right rider!

Is Max at a breeder or store? Would they let you put down a deposit and pay him off in a certain amount of time? If you could swing that before the sale of the horse? It would at least be a way to ensure that Max is still there for you and you get to interact with him when you have the chance to stop in. If its a petstore situation, any chance they need some part time help? Work for them to pay for Max after hours helping with feed or cleaning cages? Just thinking out loud while typing!

I really hope it works out with Max, you have had some bad luck and definitely deserve a break somewhere in this story!!!

I second Jen's suggestion, especially the kicking part!

I'm so sorry about Barry . Good luck in your new job. I hope you find the perfect new bird, and if it's the YNA who is meant to be, he will be available and waiting for you
