So true. Seeing my mother’s decline and moving her into Memory Care, is like looking at our future. We want to be unselfish and provide for our pets, and not put new pets in a sad situation.

At the same time. The idea of being birdless is unbearable. We might look into fostering, so a rescue will own the birds until they’re rehomed.

But not now. So far, it’s working out with Cookie as an only-bird. He is 14 or 15. Just had his annual physical, a very thorough one, and is healthy. Hopefully for a long time yet.
