Very good post John. My male U2 is 10 years old and was sold to me as the couple just couldn't keep him. My female U2 was given to me as the couple is older and had no patience or tolerance for the destruction any longer. Unfortunately the too's ARE the birds that are rehomed the most as people really don't understand what they are in for. I got so lucky with mine as they are home some days by themselves; I keep plenty of things in their cages to keep them busy during the day and none of mine pluck. However, as soon as they know I am home they are screaming for mommy time, and it doesn't matter how tired I am I HAVE TO TAKE TIME FOR THEM.
Vacations? Haven't had one in 3 years! Can't think of a single person that I would allow in my home to take care of my fids properly.............
