The Hard Truths of Owning Birds: Day 1
One con of owning birds that nobody prepares you for?
You cannot turn them off.
They don’t care that you have a migraine.
They don’t care that you had a terrible day.
They don’t care that you’re on an important phone call.
They don’t care that you just need five minutes of silence.
They scream. They call for you. They throw things. They demand attention.
And sometimes, even when you love them more than anything, it can be overstimulating as hell.
You can love your birds deeply and still admit that some days, they are A LOT.
That doesn’t make you a bad bird owner.
It makes you an honest one.
Day 1 of the bird ownership truths nobody puts in the cute videos. 🦜
