The biggest mistake of my life

Sometimes you do what is right to do even when it is not what you want to do.

But it isn't right his sister has an allergy not him why should u have to do that when u can just keep them away from her easy.

You don't know what their circumstances were at the time. Their parents may have been involved or any of at least 100 other factors. In any case she was trying to do what was right.

I was the good kid in my family. "Honor thy father and thy mother" weighed heavy on me. Any time their was a problem between me and my siblings I was always the one who had to back down because I did what my parents wanted. No matter how hard it was I obeyed without throwing the fit I would today. (Hard to believe I was a passive at one time. This happened way up until my Momma died last year. My mother considered my adopted sister's feelings above mine even though I was the one who was giving 24/7 24 hour care and my sister visited once a week.)

Looking back you probably think you should have stood your ground and kept your bird. At that time you had no choice and it is not your fault. Like I said, kick yourself around one more time then help another bird who may even be up for rehome with the same situation.

He doesn't need to kick himself around. He did what he thought was right and it unfortunately didn't turn out as well as he hoped. He feels bad enough. I don't think the reasons he gave up his bird for were wrong in anyway.

Sorry. He was in the process of kicking himself so I was trying to say to finish with it and move on.
If you read my other post you will see that I know exactly why he gave up his bird. The powers that be told him to do it.

Still her bird could have been kept in a room her sister dosent go in.And if thats not possible I would give my bird to somebody I know so I can visit it and take him back when im older.

They did give the birds to a family they knew and you can't 'go back when you are older and get the bird back'. It's not fair to the bird and you always have to think of them first.

U can if the person you gave it to know knows they are just caring for it for a while and the bird wouldnt know u gave him away if your visiting everyday and doing your normal everyday things with it like I would anyway its my opinion and either way I wouldnt give Rocko away for anybody I would only give him away if he was really really sick and could die and I couldnt afford his treatment,

Although it would be hard to do, I would happily give all of my birds away if I knew that they would be well taken care of for the remainder of their lives.
