Wow! How great of you to take this precious baby! What a darling bird. People just get on my nerves the way they just get rid of their animals. I wonder if he'd had the bird for the entire 16 years? And to get rid of him just cuz his girlfriend is allergic? NOT! John knew from the get go, love me love my pets. And bless his heart he does! And!!!! He's got asthma and severe allergies! Yet he allows me to have three birds and three dogs. Wonder if these people will just get rid of their kids if they get tired of them too?? Same thing to me! Bless your heart for taking him in and giving him a good home. We've seen Oliver and Buddah's digs, he's in for a treat!

Hugs,
Jen

Oh how sweet - Lucky you!!!
This guys girlfriend must be something very special if he gave his bird away!!!

I know where he is coming from though. I am very allergic to cats, my eyes will swell shut, I break out in hives, sneezing, etc.. if I am around them too much. My husband has lived with cats his entire life, because his Mom LOVES cats and there would be no way I could live in the same house as a cat. When we visit my in-laws, I have to sit outside, because I just can't handle it.

Congrats on the new fid, he is adorable!!!!

Aint nobody that special

*helps the chick pack*

I must admit, everyone I have put out of my house... I was nice enough to help them pack. In fact, a couple of them even had it packed and sitting outside with fresh locks and a big ol surprise.

Cant make them want to leave but damn sure can make them wish they had!

I give Dear John a bad name.

Dont take no ****, dont give no ****. Aint in the **** business... if I were I would be a plumber.

Well let me rephrase my point. I don't think you should get involved with someone if you have differences like this. My husband did not own a cat a before we got married, his Mom did. But I know I could have never married him if I had to live in the same house as a cat, my allergies are just too severe. I think when this guy found out that his girlfriend was allergic to birds, they should have broken up before their relationship got serious enough to the point where he didn't want to keep his bird anymore. Or maybe he was just a flaky owner was looking for a "good" excuse to give his bird away. At least the bird is in a better home now, because it's obvious the previous owner didn't care.

Good for you Goro! I couldn't agree more! And glad to hear you kicked her before you married her and found out what a nut she really was! I always have felt there just isn't something right with people who don't like animals. That's just not right in my book. Of course they probably think I'm out of my mind with 9 animals in a four room house. :shock:
