I have taken ownership of my next door neighbors INR, the wife is in long term care with dementia. When the wife brought Sassy home 5 years ago, she took to me immediately, always excited to see me, I would stay and talk to her through her cage. Whenever I would visit, she would scream until I came over to her, some days I felt bad because I didn't have time. The husband has his daughter living with him now, as he has health issues. So I brought Sassy to my home to take care of her, the daughter didn't have time to care for her.
I've had Sassy since OCT 2022, she has come a long way. From never out of her cage to having her own room - her cage is brought out daily. She now is free to fly in one part of my house. She wants to be with me constantly sitting on my shoulder, curious about everything I do, especially in the kitchen.
I am retired, work part time. We had 5 cats over a 20 year period, the last one is not doing well, and I spend time with him as much as I can. Before I took Sassy I said no more pets, so I didn't intend to keep Sassy, I reached out to a Parrot Rescue to find her a good home. I don't have the time or the length of commitment it takes for her, but she has bonded with me. I feel awful that I have to do this, I know it's better for her. The hard part is I feel so guilty, it's unbearable.
