As some of you know I've recently had to make the decision to re-home Joey my Blue Crimson Rosella due to increased working hours. I'd advertised on just a couple of forums where I post but as much as people wanted to they couldn't take him. So I advertise him yesterday on Bird Trek and received a few emails during the day, mainly dealers I reckon due to the content and questions in their mails, I turned down 3 people because I had doubts. Then around 7pm when I'm about to leave work I get an email that was worded differently (you just get a feeling sometimes) so I emailed him back to arrange to call him last night when I got home.....
After an hour on the phone I am now re-homing Joey to a dear gentleman who lives roughly an hours drive from me. He has crimson rosellas already and lost his Blue crimson around 6 months ago. Joey will have a girlfriend all to himself eventually (he'll need to be kept inside till the weather gets warm enough for him to go out) in a beautful avairy.
I'll be able to keep in touch to see how Joey is getting on as the chap (Dudley) does craft fairs literally 5 miles from where I live. Dudley hand paints ceramics with pictures of his birds, he's insisted that he paints a portrait of Joey onto a ceramic clock in return for him taking Joey and he will not take any money for it.
As some of you know I was offering Joey free to the right home, and I even joked about a straight swap - Joey for a cuddly tiel.... well would you believe it - but Dudley is known as the bird man where he lives and about 3 months ago someone landed on his doorstep with a tiel they no longer wanted, so he took it in and apparently it's extremely friendly and wolf whistles when he sees anyone and will climb all over Dudley when he goes into the aviary. Dudley has felt guilty about not having the time for the tiel and believed he belonged in a family home.
So not only have I found the perfect home for Joey, I will be offering a good home to his tiel.
Am I or am I not the luckiest girl in the world?
