Hello avenue,
I live with 3 other siblings, 3 budgies, and 1 green cheak conure. The oldest sister bought these birds but never took care of them so here I am picking up her slack. She was diagnosed with depression so fine I understand you can't take care of birds when you can barely take care of yourself. But she brings Kiwi (my GCC) into her room with the ceiling fan, leaves a teflon pan on the stove (ON HIGH and unattended), and her most recent offense, taking him into her room with a LIT CANDLE INSIDE. Her response to my safety concerns? "Oh we've been doing this for years and nothing happened! The birds are all fine!".
All of which are repeated offenses despite my protest. As I write this she is holding him hostage. I keep asking for Kiwi back and she keeps screaming and punching the damn door. She even threatened she will kill me. Kiwi is in there, breathing those chemicals, screaming as well, and I can't do a damn thing! Which is why I am here. Should I call the cops for animal abuse? I worry they won't take me seriously. We live in the same house and I worry for Kiwi's safety. She really doesn't care what happens to him. It's as if he is a toy she can just play and discard later.
If any of you doubt this crazy post I'm making, go ahead. I know this sounds insane. But I need options.
