I believe you are right, I believe these birds flourish in hot climates. I wish I could take him, but he is one that thinks of pets as objects of value first, then pets second. If I could I would take him in a minute, but I would be dragged into court. I love Floyd and I know that if his family finds him mistreating Floyd, one of them will take him and it will be someone that will take care of him I believe. I think though that Floyd may have been hit with a broom as he is afraid of a broom. I don't really know what to do. I do not have a right to take him. I hope and pray, he will be alright. I know my x will not hurt him, and I know he will be fed and tlaked to, but he will never get what i gave to him, I loved him for who he was, not how much he was worth. The family says that they bought him for $3000.00 but I do not see him in dollar signs. He is precious. Because he is hip-hopping, sweet talking, pretty boy Floyd.
