Is freeing my budgies a good idea?

I don’t want, nor have the time to maintain to keep two budgies anymore. I’ve found out the hard way I’m not a bird person, and I absolutely HATE their constant screeching. I’ve put up with it for almost a year now, fed the ungrateful, loud beasts and all they do is poop and scream all day. I might sound harsh, but why don’t you try it? SO: to the question. If I let my budgies out the window, is this a good idea? No one wants to buy them, so this is my other option.

Gee, why would I assume that you aren’t a great pet owner.

You refer to your birds as ungrateful and beasts, say that you HATE them and that you are thinking about letting them go which would result in certain death because they are loud and you don’t like them.

Hmmm..where in the world would I have gotten that idea…

Answer #2

God no…put an ad in the paper or something…freeing them is giving them a death sentence.

Answer #3

Lol, I probably do. I might put a paper up.. I live in an apartment.

Answer #4

Don’t you have a ‘creepy bird lady’ in your neighborhood? Give ‘em to her…

Answer #5

@everyone else - I will not let them free. Thanks for info. I’m trying to find a shelter that will take them. I won’t use online sites, I have social anxiety and woul;dn’t work well to have people go to my home. sorry.

Answer #6

@utopia - I love animals and have a huge obsessino over them. I have owned over 10 hamsters in my life and they lived long and happy. I spoil my pets and love them to death. I currently have a kitty, and he is well taken care of. Birds - is a whole new experience. I admit to being a bad bird owner, but I care for them, just not love them. Please don’t assume things.

Answer #7

If you free them they will either be killed by another animal or stare to death. You might not like them, but that would be cruel. Find them a good home. And do not get any more pets. You don’t sound like an animal person, nothing wrong with that, but you sould not have pets.

Answer #8

uhm if you really want to kill them there are less cruel ways than simply starving them to death…

try this site, they’ve got thousands of adoption groups, I’m sure one of them is around your area http://www.petfinder.com/

Answer #9

the online site I sent is a link to different shelters/adoption agencies… you give them the pet…?

Answer #10

NO! Try putting them up for sale on a website made for selling and buying animals. I suggest a website called www.kijiji.com or .ca
Hope I Helped :D
