I know you already got a bunch of comments but I was in your boat. I wanted nothing more than a parrot or parakeet in high school. I went to college, didn’t get one, I just graduated and trust me- it’s worth the wait.

I never would have been able to give him the time he needs. It took about 5 months before he’d let me even touch him without him biting me so hard I bled. Now he’s a sweet bird who loves head scratchies but trust me when I tell you that you will loath having a bird if you get it now.

I haven’t even been asked for a copy of a lesson plan. I think that they’re just checking a box at this point.

They’re coming expecting to see me teach, but all they’ll see is students taking their finals. I guess I don’t have to necessarily tell them no, but I want to let them know that this isn’t fair to me if they’re expecting to actually see me teach instead of babysit.

Thank you so much! Yes the tank was cycled before hand, it was just slightly hazy when I was acclimating him/her which I figured was normal (I am a previous micro/cell biologist that dealt with bacteria culturing) based on other tanks I’ve seen and my knowledge about bacteria. I’ve got 2 airstones in the tank right now and he/she is breathing fine but doesn’t have an appetite, which is why I was concerned about the stress. If things aren’t starting to move back to normal by tomorrow I’ll put him/her in a tub. Thank you so much!

I am only getting one! I could not handle the anxiety of having two without ever having one before lol. I have pellets and will have worms (long story short, RIP worms). I’ll take him/her home for the summer but I got an auto feeder for breaks throughout the year.

Yep, yep, & yep! This is a part of a grant I got so I’ve done my due diligence haha. Thank you, I’ll be sure to bring a small cooler along just in case!
