Once again, YOU did not fail. Weather it be parrots or people, sometimes relationships DONT work. Point blank. You guys did the very best you could and were in my book super courageous to even think about undertaking such a huge responsibilty!! The experience both of you have gained is priceless and will most probably help you with your next parrot....Atti is an adult too with baggage and HIS own agenda. Even I couldnt handle that! I'm just really lucky that Elvis came to me young and with zero baggage and only knows me as his caretaker and friend...please dont leave the forum, it's hard to encounter nice folkyou can always share stories and pic of your budgies.....and ask questions regarding other species of parrots as well....BTW: for the record, Elvis DID choose me.....
