Rehoming My Lovebird

Hi everyone,

It is very hard for me to even begin this message. I have always been an avid bird lover since I was five years old (I am 21 now). However, when I moved away for college I wasn't able to take care of my birds the way they deserve. My parents do their best, but they are also juggling a lot and are unable to provide them with the care they need and require, other than the basics. I bought my lovebird, Lil Red, and his girlfriend, Blue, about 6 years ago. However, Blue passed away about 3 years ago while laying eggs. Since then I have tried placing Lil Red with my two conures, but he does not get along with them at all. I had to separate him from my conures because he seems to like his own space and does not like hanging out with my conures.

Long story short, I would like to know how to go about rehoming Lil Red to a loving family, who will provide him the life he should have been given in the first place. I am ashamed that I haven't been able to take care of him and love him as much as I should have, but I do not want him to continue living alone. I know lovebirds are social animals and require companionship. Please let me know if anyone has any advice for me and my bird. Thank you!

Make sure to read this before giving someone your bird. I would add a reasoable adoption fee so that your bird isn't taken by a bird flipper (gets a free bird, then sells it the next day for way more money)
