No, it's NOT Syd! Lol...that would NEVER happen! Although, there was a fleeting threat of being the cats dinner after the bite he gave my sister...the bruise now literally covers her entire forearm. OUCH!
That being said....
I'm making this post here, because I know more people than I do in any of the other forums on this board, so hopefully, by reaching out, you all will be able to help.
I got a message from a longtime friend yeaterday, asking for my help in rehoming his girlfriends African Gray. He's 18 years old, and she's been the sole owner. He was hand fed by her, seems to be socialized fairly well, and I was told he has a pretty decent sized vocabulary, although he's shy about speaking around new people. He does, however, have a bit of feather destructive behavior.
I really wish I could take him myself. But, even after considering keeping him on the other side of the house, hepa air purifiers, etc, I cannot run the risk of doing anymore damage to Syd's respiratory system than has already been done.
This baby is located in Tampa/Clearwater area, and will come with his cage, toys, and food. My friend doesn't want any money for a rehoming fee...but rather, the peace of mind that the baby will be well cared for, and in a loving home. When I asked the reason why they wanted to rehome, he said it's because they just no longer have the time to give the attention that the bird deserves. And, to me, that reason is pretty evident just from the state he's in.
Any and all help you can give would be greatly appreciated!
