Tonya!!! good grief.....what are you to do??? Seems to me that you need to keep this bird and do what you can. If you need me to call a local wildlife rescue for some instructions, I'll be glad to do that! I dont' want you getting arrested over doing the right thing!!!! What a mess!! Here you are trying to do right and all this political mess is in the way. I don't blame you one bit for not wanting to leave him with the "bird lady".....goodness, she has snakes in her bathtub and has given up her bed???

I wish I were closer so I could help you.
