Am I a terrible bird trainer? Sure. I train what I need them to know, like Go Home, and I let them be birds after that. Maybe I give them too much freedom, I don't know. I haven't trained Bobber because he doesn't like it, and it stresses him out. Is he impossible to train? I doubt it; I just haven't wanted to push him because I respect him in ways that I am sure previous owners haven't.
The kind of life I want for Bobber? Stable. I want a home for him that loves him even if he doesn't love them back. I want someplace he has access to healthy food and clean water. I want him to have a home where he can be out for most of the day. I don't want him passed around from home to home just because he isn't easy. That's what I want for him.
So to rehome him, now, just because of a behavior change that I am still working with, in the middle of spring when hormones are raging? To pawn it off on someone else at the worst possible time? No, I won't do that. Will I consider rehoming him if it's best for everyone but especially Bobber? Of course. But we aren't there yet.
