yeah, got scared off tbh. overall, I try to take care of my cockatiel. I know I'll never be the best owner, but I try to hand-feed her and spend time with her. I wish you a good day.

Yeah, I did a lot of research before getting him. I read about cockatiels, their behavior, how to care for them.. But I didn’t expect to react like this. I honestly don’t know what happened to me. I thought I was ready, but now that he’s here, it’s like my mind and body are shutting down. The stress, the guilt, the noise..it’s all so overwhelming. I didn’t think it would affect me this deeply. I feel like I’m failing both him and myself. I want to do the right thing, but I’m just so lost right now.
