my 3 year old boy is unhappy. his hormones are making him miserable. i wish someone had warned me about this! i do not think theses guys should be pets at all
but since my beloved bird has had the misfortune to be born, not in the jungle where he can fly and mate and forage
i don’t know what to do
someone suggested hormone implants. i’ve heard that, at least here in the USA they can be $500 a pop.
and they need to be replaced after a year????
help!!!
we’re so bonded. he was on baby food when i got him.
SUCH a sweet boy right up until his hormones attacked us.
then the screaming, biting, general frustration.
one day he sat in the window yelling his name: CORey!!! COREy!!!
i started to cry.
his confusion and loneliness are so awful to watch.we had so many games and he was such a joyful boy!
no more. the games disappoint him, i can see it: they used to be fun but now they aren’t.
i understand. i remember adolescence and my obsession with boys.i couldn’t concentrate on many things, either.
but at least there was an end in sight, at least to the intensity of it. eventually we can think about something else.
people talk about diet. not too much fruit or protein
he LOVES his fruit, especially the tropical fruits
ok no protein rich foods. but then he’s molting and i’m told he needs extra protein to grow new feathers! which explains why they didn’t come in right.
people say:
don’t cuddle him. don’t pet below the neck.
well, how was he supposed to understand why his mama didn’t let him sleep on her chest for a bit before bed, when this was our special time since he was a baby?
i could see how bad he felt, how confused.
i WISH i could release him into the wild! let him come and go as he pleases but i cant
are hormone implants the answer? do they work?
i want my boy back!
but no way i can afford that. is there any fund or organization which might help?
we can’t go on like this. i want what’s best for him AND me.
will i have to rehome him? get him a wealthy home where they can afford hormone shots or implants?
we are both SO unhappy.
