@hrafn I love all of your Taco updates, but every wonderful pic you post is even more incredible when I think of where he came from and how spectacular and loving his life is now because of you.
Thank you every day for this.
I really don't know where I'd be without him. All my fids are angels, and to think where I'd be if I didn't have them...
Seeing Taco on Kijiji, watching the weeks go by and the ad get more and more desperate, deciding to drive way out into the boonies to meet him, and promising to look after him until I found him the perfect forever home...it was all just serendipity leading me to one of the best friends I've ever had.
It was
never the plan to keep him. My dream bird has always been a B&G, and I thought I'd be blessed just to have him in my life for a short while. But after all, who was I to keep him? This huge, terrified macaw who would probably scream himself hoarse and rip me to pieces after all he'd suffered? He needed someone with experience, someone who had macaws, someone who knew how to help a bird with PTSD, someone who didn't live in a duplex apartment with wafer-thin walls.
But then I met him. And
man.
