So, Sherbert is a 17 year old sun conure parrot 🦜 who became my roomie almost 7 years ago. She was originally adopted by a family as a birthday gift for their 10 year old kid.

Interest in Sherbert waned pretty quick and she was ultimately dismissed to live in a laundry room with no socialization and no opportunity to fly. At least she had a window to look out of.

Eventually, mom and dad split and mom got stuck with all the animals as the kids were adults living on their own. My sister knew mom and found out about Sherb, mentioned her to me and the happy dance took over. I've always wanted a sun conure! It took 1 day to organize and I adopted her on New Year's Day, 2019.

Nutritionally, she was somewhat taken care of and is now stuck in her ways and refuses to try anything new. I think she could fly if she really wanted to, but she doesn't. Her wings were continually clipped previously. 🥺

She's a very happy bird now! I do not get left alone. EVER. Unless she's sitting on eggs, like now. (she has 2) It's a unique relationship that I wouldn't trade for anything
