Why are you needing to rehome your bird?
I have had him since he was a chick but my life has changed a lot and so has his behavior. I now have young twins and when I was no longer ablr to give him as much attention as I used to he began screaming and over preening one wing. Lack of space in my house means his cage is in our bedroom and the constant brutal screaming means I can't relax or get enough sleep. Working from home is a challenge as he screams when I need to concentrate. The stress is too much and I am not able to give him as good a life as he deserves.
Provide us with any additional information that may help a candidate show interest in your bird.
He is quirky and a good flyer, can be very funny. He will dive bomb you if you say the words “Flavortown” or “air pickle.”
