My baby budgie, Bowie, came from a wonderful, very educated breeder who absolutely adored any and all birds she'd raise and sell. He's a month and a half of age and.. and.. im a teenager and i go to school every day (like most high schoolers do
) and bowie, when we went to pick him up, was already tame and hand trained, which i thought was amazing c: even on the car ride back, he wanted to be out and on my shoulder. I got him the weekend of spring break (meaning the monday after would be the first day of spring break) and so i was able to spend so so much time with him, and i believe it's safe to say he's already bonded to me.
He was basically out of his cage for the majority of that entire week, going into his cage only to sleep, and the few times i left the house for errands and once to see the new mario movie. He's still pretty much a baby and is gradually becoming more comfortable with climbing, flying, chirping, and just becoming more curious. This morning was the first time i had to put him in his cage at around 6:30, and i wont see him until 3:30 :c im genuinely so worried because he doesn't interact with his toys nearly as much as other budgies ive seen do, and he's become so attached to me as i have him :c I've left his favorite food and fresh water, as well as plenty of toys in his cage, and i left the radio on this morning, so he can feel not as lonely. He's such a sweet, loving bird and see's me as his companion- i feel so bad for leaving him- but i just know my dad will be VERY against getting a second bird to keep him company. I've done hours of research, and spent so much of my own money to ensure he can have only the best, but i feel so stumped on this- I feel so bad for Bowie, for putting him in this situation i wasn't fully prepared for. He's my first bird, and i genuinely love him so much- But.. i also accept that if the enviroment i have for him will be harmful then.. i'm more than okay to rehome him, for his sake. I was naive to not think this through and now i feel stuck :c
Anyone who's been in the same situation, please- just tell me what you think is best :c
