Pam, of course you don't want to rehome either bird!
Would it be possible to put them in seperate rooms?

As far as children go - lets see - the wealthy sent theirs
off to boarding school, prodigies get college scholorships
and move away, the poor might send theirs off to a relative
with better financial stability, the abusers get theirs
taken away by the state.


Sometimes, for whatever reason we just get a situation where
there maybe just the one solution. Isn't the welfare of the
birds of the utmost concern? If the situation calls for one
of them to be rehomed, then that's what is called for.

We do the best we can with what we got.
