Yeah, I would normally never push my husband into getting another, especially since we agreed. I just couldn't bear the thought of Nicholas going to a rescue. He can deliver a nasty bite and I have this fear that he'll become cage bound and neglected because he bit his new owner. If I could find him a good home, that might be different I guess. I would have found a home for the Caique a long time ago as he was taken in as a foster, and is quite hyper and messy, but my husband really likes him. He's also a baby though and could easily adjust to a new home. Also, the Grey and the Caique have really bonded and I'd hate to separate them at this point. I hate the idea of rehoming any bird but in my mind, finding a baby a forever home is better and easier on the bird than trying to find an adult a home. I feel like it would be much easier to find a good home for the Grey or Caique (I'd love it if they could stay together) than an 8 year old, bitey Red Belly. But I'm getting ahead of myself. Who knows, maybe my husband will be cool with it after he has some time to adjust. As I said before, he really is a good guy but there was a reason we agreed on three birds. It doesn't help that we're in a smallish apartment and the birds take up the entire dining area. I'm mainly just pissed at myself for getting into this situation. I should never have brought the Grey home. I feel like I should have known that Nicholas would end up back here.
