Ok, you say it's NOT your fault....but you are fully AWARE of your parents history with pets. You say your parents have control of what happens to your pets. Then WHY DO YOU KEEP GETTING MORE?
Please, until you are on your own, don't get any more pets!!!
I thopguht you were blaming me ash. sorry. I just know that I personally AM a good pet owner.
my parents differ. :mad:. I am not happy with them, and no in a few week I am not gpoing to have a new pet, so dont just assume I will :mad::mad:...
2 of my hamster resently died and NOOOOO I diodnt come home with a new pet did I :rolleyes:... :mad::mad::mad:.
Yes but how many other times have you? Wasn't it quite recently you brought home two rats? Your history and your parents history speaks for itself. You've said a million times before that you won't get any more, and you still do! So hold yourself to your own words this time, will ya? :rolleyes:
I'm so sorry Jynnelle. :( I wish I could have taken them. You know I would have taken them in a heartbeat if I didn't also have such a mean mom. :mad:
Atleast you'll get to see them whenever you want...And you'll know if they're being taken care of.
I know how hard it must have been for you to post this. :( But I'm glad that people aren't blaming you...I know that if I ever had to give up one of my pets, it wouldn't be MY fault, and I know it's the same with you.
Peronsally I'm not sure if you should go visit them. You're just going to confuse them even more! I think you should just end your relationship with them here and now. I know it will be hard to do but if you truly love them you will.

I have to say I'm with everyone else on this topic. What you're parents did to the birds wasn't fair. However it does make me think, how long will it be till you come home one day and your mom tells you she's decided that you have to get rid of the rats, or that she no longer wants the dogs and she's sent them to live on a "farm" or they've "runaway"?
Just do yourself a favour and don't even think about getting amy pets until you have a place of your own AND you can afford to care for them both financially and emotionally.
She would never take away my dog, if she did I would run away and kill my self. I even told her that ...
My mother did the same thing with my rabbits a few years ago when we moved. I made the very hard decision then not to have any more animals. After a year of that my mother seemed to realize what ahe had done and allowed me to get my lizard.
My mom also gave up the last two dogs we had, one because of a BAYBEE (one of the LAMEST excuses to abandon a family member) and one because he bit small children.
It took me a long time to realize what was happening, and it's been a long road trying to educate someone who doesn't want to listen. If you want, PM or email me and we'll try to figure out how to convince her that she's damaging innocent lives.
I think that if we had gotten Wilbur three years ago, she would have given him up because of his housebreaking problems. Now, however, we're persevering with him.
So...I just made a long rambling post that didn't really have a ton to do with the original topic. Sorry...
I don't know why people are feeling so sorry for the birds, I feel more bad for TM.
If her mother hates the birds so much, I think her rehoming them was the best thing because god forbid, if she should do something horrible to them, being in a caring loving home is the best thing, is it not? Perhaps in this home, the new owners will have more patience, not scream or yell at the birds, feed and water them more often, mayb even provide more toys or out of cage time? I hope this is the case. They deserve better than what they had at her house.
TM, I am very saddened that this had to happen. I know you loved your birds very much. I only wish you had a mother who wasn't so stupid. Perhaps it was best if the birds were rehomed, because maybe now they will be with someone who WILL love them, and not find them annoying or loud or dirty, someone will will care for them the way they need to be cared for.
Again I am very saddened by this. I hope you realize that maybe this was the best thing for them. I know if I was a bird, I wouldn't want an owner who disliked me so much!
Because the birds have already been through so much.Quote:

I'm actually kind of glad they're in a better home.

EXACTLY! That was my point! Maybe now they will have the love and attention they deserve! Did you read my entire post?
They NEED better, they are not getting what they deserve at her house! It's better for them to go somewhere where they won't be yelled at and nelgected, to someone who will love them and treat them with respect! I can only hope this is the way it turns out.
Please, just do not get any more pets TM. Concentrate on protecting your current pets from your parents, who seem to be the apparent source of all your pet's problems. If I was you I'd keep them clean, quiet, and obedient so as not to attract too much attention.
dont get anymore animals.
I am very sorry it turned out this way. I thought your mom agreed to keeping them. Or maybe I was just hoping that. :(
I cannot believe your parents would just GIVE AWAY your pets because of a stupid floor?! :mad: "Oh they're noisy" Geez, so are my birds but my father knows I love them so he wouldn't dare hurt them. Or else I am sure he would have released them in the back by now. I just cannot believe she would give them up.
I agree with this. I know it is not your fault but please try to prevent this again by never accepting another pet into your house again UNTIL you have your own home and can provide for it. Or your parents swear to keep them FOR LIFE. It isn't fair for these poor animals. They rely on you for a home, food, shelter, love and care and they get kicked out because of a new floor. Not trying to pin this on you, I am just so sad about this.Quote:
Not you inparticular, but your parents.
You guys get a new animal then in a few years or so, it's gone. Do your parents know how confusing and stressful it is for animals to change conditions so much?
I think you're better off not accepting any more animals into your household until you move out or you're absolutely POSITIVE the animal will spend the rest of it's life with you.
I'm sorry about what happened. I don't assume you will be bringing in a new pet or anything, so please don't.
