Recently, I've been looking into adopting a bird after the unexpected loss of my cockatiel. Relatively, I'm very young, and just about every rescue that I looked at has a strict "no kids," "must be over 21," or "must own your own home" policy. While I completely understand the reasoning behind this, I was still incredibly disappointed.
I have a plan for college: the bird will be kept with my brother nearby and I will see it daily, or it will be kept at home and I will just have to come back every weekend. Either way, the bird will be around people who care about it, and it will be able to see me consistently.
Even for the short time that I had her, my cockatiel completely changed my life for the better. Put simply: I'm absolutely terrified of my life reverting back to the way it was before I had a bird. I have my heart set on adopting, but I'm not sure if it's even possible for me. Do you think rescues would be willing to bend the rules if a young person seemed qualified enough? I'm just not sure if it's even worth looking into further.
