When I lost Nerd bird after 31 years together I was devastated and so was my family as they loved him and knew we were best buds. I didn't have the money and wasn't sure I was ready for another Maxi or any other bird but my lil sister found Lurch for sale and family all pitched in and helped me get him. He was a very mad and quick to bite used parrot but we very slowly came to a understanding and he became happy and was my friend and we needed each other. When he escaped accidentally about 6 years later I was again devastated for failing him even though I climbed 2 trees and tracked him for 2 days. Momazon contacted me to make sure I was ok and a short time later she could no longer keep Dobby and thought I'd make a great Dad after seeing everything I went through with Lurch so she offered him to me. Nerd though I was his world and loved me and was a very shy boy, Lurch was aggressive, grumpy, and quick to bite but we became friends with the understanding that biting for him was a feature and he loved me but demanded respect, Dobby is the most outgoing, hyper, gentle, socialized Maxi I have ever known. Sometimes whether your ready or not things happen and usually for the best, it doesn't always mean you have to have money and all that, just a open loving home.
When you have had time to greive and come to terms maybe another special fid will find his way to you and you'll be good for each other. None of my guys are exactly like the others, they all are their own souls with similarities but each wanted to be handled differently and were, are happy.
He was really eating well. When found him in the morning he must of eaten shortly before he die as there was food in his crop. I believe he must still fighting all the way to the end. God I love that bird so much. RIP my baby
Perfect colours too.
