Okay, as an update our sweet underbite boy has found his forever home! He will be traveling across the state to Grand Haven soon. To a home thats very educated in how to trim beaks themselves and I am assured he will be VERY well cared for. They also have Jonah's approval which makes me much more confident in that!
I do want to add though... The number of messages I got about him is unbelievable. There was a handful of folks who were uneducated in beaks trims but willing to learn. The majority of these messages I could tell came from people ONLY interested in him due to him being FREE.
This immediately throws up so many red flags and makes me honestly want to blacklist some of them from ever adopting! No bird is FREE. If you can't afford an adoption fee (which is typically much LOWER then most pet stores even!!). You most likely can't afford proper maintenance and general veterinary care for them.
I put a lot of effort into raising these birds. Properly, so that you get a socialized, healthy, and ethically raised baby! The cost is not cheap to do so! Neither is the valuable time I put into it. I can't ever go on vacations with my kiddos. I miss out on a lot of things in life to raise them! None of you really have any clue, unless you've raised birds yourself. This whole thing has been quite offensive to me. I won't be able to continue raising any of them if we don't have these adoption fees in place. Very rarely do adoption fees get waived for this reason. I am very reasonable and typically willing to work with adopters as much as possible. If your just looking for a FREE bird, look somewhere else!!
