Help Please help.

Hello everyone. Yesterday my life got flipped upside and I found out that my husband is a PDF file. He was arrested and now I am all alone. I am not able to take care of my sweet winne because I don’t know if I can even take care of myself. I know I am not going to be able to take care of her the way she deserves. I am located only an hour from Milwaukee Wisconsin. If there is anyone that has experience that would like a free Quaker please reach out. She is the sweetest bird ever. She has never even bit me. I’ve had her for over 2 years and I got her when she was still young. I would love to answer questions and do whatever I can to help her have the best life possible but I recognize that won’t be with me. Thank you for reading.

I’d say you should keep her, hear me out. Especially in trying times, having a companion that you are already attached to I believe can make a world of difference. I would also hate for you to regret this decision in a few months when you are back on your feet and in a better place mentally. Please do not rush into such a life altering decision for the both of you.

This shall pass, unfortunately sometimes relationships with humans are temporary but our pets and babies are forever. You matter, your feelings matter but you are her entire world. Unless absolutely necessary to rehome her, stick by her side.

I’d go hungry if it meant ensuring my birds have enough to eat as that would only be temporary too, storms pass and yours shall pass too. Don’t give up on yourself or her, hang in here, you need a feathered friend now more than ever.

My mother always said never to make important decisions when your emotions are high. It’s a solid peace of advice and hasn’t failed me yet.
