Please dont scold me, I think I may need some help.
I bought the Citron (Mango) that I mentioned in the noise thread. The bird took to me immediately. The owner and his son were kinda shocked. When I tried to give Mango back to the son, the bird wouldn’t go to him and flew to the ground. The father whose bird it is just kind of dumped the bird on us and disappeared most for most of the time. i asked him if he’ll miss mango and he just shrugged. Mango has been stuck to me like glue since the minute we met about 5 hours ago. I’m not exaggerating.
He was living outside in a large cage kitted out appropriately. They said they brought him in and put him on perch inside for part of the evening and then return him to his cage outside for the night. I don’t think they interacted with him much. Apparently, there were a lot more birds that they recently rehomed so I don’t see how he could have gotten much attention. I asked the son why they had so many and he replied thy just like birds. Considering where they live and the living conditions, i dont how they afforded them. A citron is a huge extravagance for me. They run a swap meet. I think the business may involve selling birds.
The house was scary. Dirty, dark, with blacked out windows, pit bulls, weird sullen teenage children.
I didnt take the cage. It was rusty and dirty. I asked for his bowls and toys. When I looked in the bag when I got home there was one filthy bowl. I couldn't use it. I hand fed him a lil food that they gave me. He wouldn’t drink any water.
He screams if I put him in the cage even after I moved it into my bedroom and Im right there. He screams if I step a few feet away from him. I don’t think he is the quiet bird they said he was or there is something else going on.
Honestly I think he wanted the f out of there and latched onto the first free ride. He didn’t like being the carrier and laid in my lap looking up at me for most of the 1.5 hours home.
Right now hes on a portable perch on my nightstand. He’s making a noise rubbing his beak together. My room isn’t bird proof so I’m worried. Between that and the beak noise, I dont know how Im going to sleep tonight. Im already an insomniac
He also chews on his band and there a feathers missing on his leg. Im afraid he’ll mutilate.
Screaming (which is intolerable) aside, he a wonderful, sweet, funny very affectionate bird.
I don’t see how I can leave him for two seconds cuz of the screaming. I won’t be able to go to the gym tomorrow. I guess I’ll have to take him to the grocery store and bird store to by cups and food. I wasnt planning on taking him on outings for awlhile. Hes clipped but Im not really comfortable taking him out, he cant stay home alone and I have to go to the grocery and bird stores.
I’m really worried about the situation. If it doesn’t work out soon due to the screaming, I dont know what Ill do. I cant take him back to that hell house.
