Post: Umbrella Cockatoo Worries

Posted by Leigh on 6/21/06

I feel soo silly writing this post.
I am not a mom yet, but I have a breeder holding a baby
for me. OK here is my problem...
I am 20 and a BIRD LOVER, my fiancee' and I are NOT having
children (b/c I have a neuromuscular disease and in a
wheelchair) and I want something to love and to love me
back. I am home ALL the time and plan to work from home
but I will be returning to school in the fall (for no more
than 3 hours a day). I have been researching, reading and
asking numerous owners/breeders on advice.
I was recently on a website that was almost telling me not
to get my umbrella and I saw HORRIBLE pictures and I am
not reconsidering getting my baby, I am just SOOO nervous
that I will do something to my baby to hurt it
psychologically! I am desperate for some insight on how I
can overcome this brain violation from this weirdo who is
the ONLY one on the net who has said all these things. But
the worst part is that there are people that agree with
this person and REGRET getting their Cockatoos!
Well, anyway, I just hope someone can help and just
reassure my heart and head, b/c I don't want to be a bad
mom!
Thanks so much!!!
-Leigh
