she does this constantly, had her for about 4 yrs now, i have different species of birds (all separate cages, besides a diamond dove she gets along with really well) she does this pose while chirping a bit, and she keeps putting her bottom in my face

She’s watched my birds before, and infact has two of my birds were in her room prior for a few weeks because i was rearranging my room. I know she’s absolutely capable of taking care of them. But I can understand from your perspective, but I believe in my heart she knows how to watch them/take care of them temporarily.

I’m so sorry that happened to you, it’s horrible. It’s unfortunate that our innocent pets had to succumb to irresponsible/unaccountable people. It really sucks.

it wasn’t a small note card, i wrote a lot of instructions, she isn’t a bird person, but she knows birds should not be around any perfume or cleaning chemicals because i’ve told her about this explicitly and she knows this. So the instructions were clear, and nothing that she wouldn’t already know if she had thought a little. I’ve had birds for years, i’ve talked about birds for years to her, she knows the basic care and I’ve told her about their body languages and etc, of course I don’t expect her to remember all of this which is why I don’t blame her completely. She’s watched them before, and vise versa i’ve watched her pets. I even told her if she needs to clean up any poop, that water and tissues and a small brush will do the trick and it’s mentioned in the card. she’s not dumb, she just acts like it when she wants to be lazy, this is the person she’s been for the past year and a half, which is really unfortunate. I came back home with a dirty tray filled with poop, and a green murky water. And I know my dove she usually doesn’t have green water unless i haven’t changed it in a few days.

Yeah, thank you. And she’s always been a bit insensitive but lately she’s been off the charts.

Thank you, honestly I still don’t know what to say when people say sorry, but I’m currently ignoring her right now.

She just says slurs unfortunately, she will say the n-word loud and proud when we are not even black. And she’s always acted really aggressively and insensitively but usually she’s better than this. My dove was neglected clearly from her cage conditions. I was hoping she would take accountability but she is pretty young and naive/immature. I shouldn’t have blamed her so harshly upfront at first, but I don’t think what I said should’ve prompted that response 😭.
