This little guy turn up at our building a few days ago. It flew into a balcony and walked into unit. Caught it and brought it home. Real tame and friendly. I already have 2 birds ( cockatiel and budgie )
But this guy was just too beautiful to pass.
$35000 African grey
We named it Paco. Lol.
My kid felled in love with it right away as it climb on his shoulder and was walking around and playing with with him.
A friend of ours wanted one , so he Kijiji.
Boom there is the add.
My Grandmother had her bird (Lucy) on back yard doing work , when some bees stardle her and flew away. $1000 cash reward.
My kid lost it as he really wanted her.
I explain to him if no one claimed her by weekend. We would keep it. Now some one asked and it's an old lady who lost her husband nor too long ago.
It's her companion . We have to do the right thing. He did not care about money ofcourse.
After alot of crying he gave in. Plus some cash too . Lol.
Money obviously helped ,but, very emotional momment as bird did not want to go either. ( did not want to with owner ) must had been my birds and all the fruits and attention it got here.
They are NOT just animals. They become family members , And break hearts when they get lost or die.
So I believe we did the right thing.
