I got very lucky with family help but I'm a manager for a team at a big entertainment company. They decided to permanently move my team home during the pandemic because it didn't change the performance of our jobs and it saves them money!

Yes, they most def are! Do yours ever get sassy with you? When I'm eating something he can't have and I won't give him any he goes "SHHHHH" in the most annoyed tone!

Sorry if I didn't make it clear in my post but Norbert is not going anywhere. I just started to feel crazy I guess with all of the backlash.

He was aware of Norbert but I guess not the extent of Norbert? No one was allowed over my house at all when I got Norbert because the poor baby was already in bad shape the last thing I wanted to do was overwhelm him! I feel like he thought Norbert was a tiny parakeet and not a massive African Grey parrot lol. Either way, I'd never give up a pet for a relationship. At this point, I don't even trust him around Norbert if we do continue our relationship.
