I've been debating this post for many months now, but I think it's time. It's been a struggle. I had my first baby in December last year, I live in a small double wide mobile home with my dad and fiance. I had to re-home my budgies and fish to cut down on the stress in the house. I've been debating re-homing my tiels and haven't made this post, until now, because it breaks my heart and makes me feel so damn ashamed of myself. But, I just feel like all we do anymore is yell at them to be quiet. Everyone works full-time. My baby is a light sleeper, so I'm always shushing them. I can't keep up with cleaning the poop off the floor and my baby is always trying to get in it. I just feel so guilty that they don't get the love and affection that they need. I got the lighter gray one hoping he would be friends with my first tiel, so they could at least have each other, but they're not friends. They have a big cage and I let them out daily, but we all know that isn't enough. They need scritches and love and the like, 5-10 min a day we give them is nothing and I know it.
