We have had our little guy for about 5 years. My now wife was a cockatoo fan from a kid. When she moved in with me, we had the opportunity to finally make that dream come true. She was going to nursing school and spent the majority of her time at home doing homework and studying. Her and the bird, Pip, were best friends. I'd come home from work and we'd be just a little happy family. Unfortunately, time has changed our situation and started to make us question his well-being. We're early 30's with some pretty demanding careers. I run a business with 12 employees and build houses on the side. She graduated years ago and is a critical care nurse working full nights. We want to start a family very soon. We are starting to see major issues in our relationship with Pip and how much attention he's getting. She sleeps during the day and tries her best to keep him quiet. He's so well behaved that he does pretty good with hanging out while she sleeps, or at least as well as a too can, haha. He's very loved, given ample toys and foraging things, spoiled at times, has a good diet. He's a great bird. However, we are having the hard realizations that he deserved better than us if we can find it...
We're extremely hesitant to search out a rehoming situation for Pip. He's 14ish years old, no plucking, good communication, very little aggressiveness (any bites can definitely be traced back to a myriad of preceding signals or warnings). We love him dearly, but if there's a good home that has good too experience where he can have more attention, more space to roam, maybe a buddy to be with, we just can't ignore the opportunity. We're in the Mountain west and open for conversations from people who would want to keep us updated, because I don't know if I can handle not knowing where he is and how he's doing. Anyone out there thinking of adding an amazing bird to their family?
