About 8 years ago I was given a Umbrella cockatoo.  Her mom could not keep her because she developed allergies to the bird.  She was my only bird for about 1 1/2 years.  Then this same lady brought me another umbrella cockatoo.  Just brought it over didn't ask, although after seeing the poor shape she was in there was no way I could have said no.  Her girlfriend had it and it was a mess.  She Angel had pulled all her feathers out of her chest and half of her wings and the tail feathers were moldy.  Angel now has all of her feathers and is all white.  Although it took a little over 4 years.

With 2 birds to watch and all the other animals it was impossible to leave them in the living room.  (I do not keep them in their cages except for nite)  So they have there own room.  They get playtime with mom a couple times with  a day.  However Angel really needs more interaction than I can give and with her being so needy Muffin (the first one) kinda gets short changed.  Actually they both get short changed.  And taking them out of the room one by one is not a good option the one left in the bird room screeches and that make the one out of the room nervous.  No they are not calling one another they are screeching because I took one out and LEFT the other.  My BF tried to help me for awhile by spending time with Angel and I got to spend extra time with Muffin.  But as birds do Angel bite the BF making him afraid so the interaction was no longer beneficial for Angel, he let her get away with to much.  In my book with an animal that will outlive you you need to take major precaution that they don't develop bad habits that would make them unacceptable for adoption

.

Over the years I have thought and tried to find Angel a loving and nurturing home thinking this would be best for both her and Muffin.  Well a such home has come up.  The girl is experienced with not just birds but with cockatoos.  She works with an avian vet, and has wanted a bird for a very long time, but waited until the time is right.  She believes the time is right and would really like to take Angel.

Delima...What is it best for both birds, who have a flock relationship  but not a boding or "friendship" relationship?  If Angel were to go to another home she would get more interaction as she would be the only baby, and Muffin would be able to come back out in the living room and get more attention.  Or is it best to just leave things the way they are?  I love both these girls very much and want to do what is best for them both!

Ultimately  the decision is mine.  I just need some feed back.  This is not a situation of what is more convenient for me. Actually if Angel did go to a new home it would end up being more work for me.  I  WANT WHAT IS BEST FOR THEM.  I do not have to find Angel a new home I'm just thinking  what would it be best.  I'm so confused.  I took her for life, but is the life I have to offer the best for her.

So sorry this is so long and I hope to received understanding comments.

Thanks
