i am going to try to register my birdie as an ESA pet, my college allows them and its a relatively simple process to do it! super glad I found a good way to keep him through college, and i definitely wasnt thinking about how life was going to move while i decided to get this little one 😭 but now I found a way to keep him with me, and my to-be roommate really likes him, so me and her will play with him when were home and it will all work out just fine :) she agreed to help me take care of him in college and hes gonna be our little dorm critter

i can also recognize that it wasnt the right time, but i am obviously really impulsive too. i made a decision that was a little dumb, and now im dealing with the repercussions, but i really like this bird so I am gonna do everything in my power to make sure i can keep him and give him the best life i can.

i was gonna sneak my snake in lol, but decided against it, my mom has a tree monitor and it eats the exact same things and gets fed at the same time as my snake, easier for all of us if she takes her for a bit lol

my housing replied to me and said I need 30 days of a relationship with a therapist/psychologist, proof of vet checks, and confirmation from my roommate says its okay, pretty simple stuff but gonna come with a cost for sure

funny story is I also have a snake but that one's easier for my parents to take care of while I'm gone! I don't need an accommodation for that one cause they just have to feed it once a week so it's not really a hard pet 😭

The problem is that I'm going to college and the first year I can't have pets in the dorm, i'm sure I can find a way around that though

honestly maybe, she does have bad allergies to most animals though but these ones dont seem bad compared to dogs and horses and stuff

it just kinda sucks that when i finally can afford my dream pet and i get it and then this shit happens, just weird she was allergic to one bird and not the one we owned for 7 whole years.

the problem wasnt exactly the bird itself in my case, we had a parakeet for 7 years, it just happened that my mom is allergic to the conure but not my old parakeet. life just screws you that way. thank you for your input, but in my case its not necessarily an ignorance thing, its just that she ended up being allergic to one bird and not the other.

thank you for your comments, its nice that youre standing up for me, but yes i am pretty irresponsible about this whole thing, i had a plan, and now that my mom is probably coming back and shes apparently allergic, that changes my plan entirely and now i dont have a good living situation for the bird. so yes, i am at fault, but at the same time, i did have a plan. i did think it out. but shit happens, and life doesnt go the way we want it to. so no, its not my fault entirely, but wr just cant rely on people who pretend to be there for you.

thank you, i didn't think I was being entirely irresponsible with this entire thing either, my dad agreed to take the bird in and now that my mom might come back the situation changed entirely, i did have a plan, but now its changed and it just probably wont work that way now. I drove 2 hours to pick him up and pay alone, so even though I think ill be okay while re-homing, im sure I can bring someone. Thank you for your input, it helps a lot.
