Hello there.
I'm not going to spend a whole lot of time writing out how sad I am about this. Don't think of me as heartless - I am sad, but I've accepted that I have little choice.
My dog has been discovered to be allergic to my birds. It started out fine, then a week later she got an eye infection. We got it medicated for a week, then a week later it came back. We tried again. Then my vet informed me that dogs can be allergic to birds [and cats, and humans, which blows my mind].
Coming down to it, I'm keeping my dog. She's too much emotional support for me to consider giving her up.
I have two birds, a female Cockatiel named Mabel and a male Princess Parrot named Julius.
Mabel was given to me by a friend. She was pet store raised and her new home didn't do much to socialize her. I was working with her on that.
Julius was hand fed, hand raised, etc. I adopted him from an aviary, in hopes that having a social bird would be a good example and source of chill for Mabel. They aren't quite bonded or anything, but they get along on their playgrounds.
I want them to go to good homes, even if it's not the same home. I don't need a rehome fee for Mabel - since she was given to me - but Julius cost me almost 1k in total.
If you can, I'd be appreciative of at least a little of that back. Obviously I'm not looking for anywhere near it back but anything you could possibly offer to help cover all the stuff you'd be getting would be, as I said, appreciated.
Both each come with food [they have separate diets], cage, toys, car carriers, and Julius comes with an aviator flight harness. We were working on harness training.
I live in Destin, FL, and am willing to meet someone halfway by car if necessary, within reason.
I really don't want to have to take this to Craigslist, but I can't keep the birds this close to my dog for very much longer. I hate to see her suffer with her allergies.
I thought I'd try here first.
You all seem lovely <3
I'll add pictures upon approval, and when it stops raining so I can get good lighting.
