I do too! I often answer CL ads offering birds to see if I can help them keep it but I can't afford to give them anything but gloop and advice

. Unfortunately, most of them don't really want any help, they just want to sell the bird.
I am sorry if I wrote anything that offended you. It was not meant that way. You had mentioned you were going to take down your CL ad and, given the fact that you had taken quite a few of them lately, I assumed (wrong of me, of course) that the ad was offering to take in birds. But, even if that had been the case, I don't see anything wrong with it and never meant to put you down for it.
So this young neighbor is working out, eh! That's great! It's hard to find people who have the right feeling for birds and don't mind the drudgery of the work involved. I had hired a lady when I had my rescue but she lasted two months!
