thank you all SOOO much for being here for us ... dunno wut i would've done without you.
now, i have a question & i'd like as much input as possible. the lady who fostered my Willie-Bird has adopted out all of the birds she had except for 1 parakeet ... this 'keet wuz Willie's "right-hand bird" when they were there together ... i mean tucking under his wing & sharing food, etc. i'm tempted to go ahead & adopt the 'keet because (1) he needs a good home; (2) he & Willie are "buds"; (3) Willie's just acting like "where's the mouth?" ... "where's my company?" ... when he wuz at the foster home, he wuz there with like 7 other birds, then he came here & he had Gina ... now, he only has me & hubby & is being really quiet ... like "no competition, no talkie" ... he hasn't talked since Gina passed away, nor has he done his usual 3-times-a-day "squawk/scream-a-thon" ... anyway, i've checked into some rescue/adoption places & they seem to think that it's too soon because maybe i'll expect too much of another bird right now ... i really have no expectations, as Gina wuz one in a million & i know that i'll never find another bird with her special personality ... i mean, she followed me every step & would've been content to sit on my shoulder or finger ALL OF THE TIME ... also, these adoption places want SO much info ... it's no wonder that peeples just go to a breeder ... and that's the very thing that they say they're trying to prevent ... over-breeding.
please give me your input on this situation ... that little 'keet is all by himself & Willie's all by himself, so i don't see a real big problem, but i ain't a genius, either. DUH!
luv, Wren
