You know the more I read some posts and articles the more I'm ashamed of myself. I just want all of you to know how sorry I really am! I'm sorry for almost giving up on Byndi. And for wanting to give up on him. Here I am almost doing what I'm persecuting others for doing. So please forgive me. I'm ashamed of myself!
I'll pretend you didn't say that. Feeling bad that you nearly gave up is ok but ashamed ? (strike that) please don't feel ashamed. Everyone has times where they feel like giving up on something in life, and none of us had Byndi to handle as a FIRST bird, you did. And he is very lucky.
Jen there is nothing to feel ashamed about, like I already said, we have all had times where we wanted to give up but we didn't, or we were really unsure about what we are doing with our fids is right, and "Just like you have done" , persisted WITH help and guidance from others that have been through exactly the same thing.
Think about this, if it was easy, we wouldn't really need this forum other than to swap happy snaps.
God Bless you and I personally want to thank you for all you have done for both of those darlins !

Angie,
Your note brought tears to my eyes. I'm fighting letting them just roll down my face. Thank you for such KIND words. You're a sweetie and I'm glad we're friends. And I'm glad you're out there in this world to cheer people like me up! Thank you friend!!
Nicely spoken Kyria! Jen, you have nothing to be ashamed of. Someone else, who know deep down they weren't commited to Byndi would have given him up in a second. You didn't, you suck with him and you WILL have a nice perfect bird eventually. Patience hun, that's all it takes. You had patience when you stared now you have patience to see it through.
you should hold your head up high jen, you've done a wonderful job,
from what ive seen on your videos byndi has come such a long way, a lesser person WOULD have given up a long time ago.
you have absolutly nothing to be ashamed of. after all the hard work (and bites) you can now look forward to a wonderfull futuer with a well adjusted bird, you should give yourself a big pat on the back
Sweety, IRN's are murder to tame. I have a friend who bred large macaws for 20 years... who wouldnt touch an untame ringneck. He just wont do it, they hurt too much when they bite, and they are really hard to tame.
It takes a special person to even try what your trying. I never blame someone for not being able to cope with a wild IRN... and I really don't blame you... you havent given up!
