I don't know where to post this so I am sticking it here

I just went to a bird forum and told them all I wanted to kill my bird. Then I looked at the last reply and it was sometime in August. Well that is just too long for me to wait because this little figging feathered thing will be dead by then.

How am I supposed to live with a screaming bird? I already have an anxiety disorder and now I live with high pitched hysteria all the time. I don't even go to the movies because I can't stand the voluming, (and the huge screen). And yet I live with this.

I finally broke and threw water on him. I had been using a water pistol but he was on to that one and it lost its' power. Even covering him does not work because he screams with his cover on sometimes.

I pride myself of being an animal lover and never giving up an animal and always taking the unwanted ones and blah and blah and blah. Now I can see why this bird was given up.

And I won't put him on the lanai because I look out and feel sorry for the little shit. So he is in the living with the rest of us, making our world a living Hell.

Isn't there a number you can call when you want to kill one of your pets? There's one for kids. They should have one for pets.

Thanks for letting me rant. Where the Hell is the BIRD FORUM?

Edit because I am so blinding mad I can't spell

1. find a local person or organization who will take the bird off

your hands. It sounds like you and the bird should part company asap.

2. Google . . .

. . . (species of bird) rescue organizations. Someone might like to give it a good home.

Reminds me of a Far Side cartoon where a really worn out and disheveled man is sitting in a chair with a gun pointed at a parrot in a cage. The bird is screaming "shut up you friggin bird" or somethning like that.

4. I had one like that

a double yellow head amazon, it was neglected by previous owner, I tried everything, for about a year, finally sold it to a pet store. Hated to do it, but the screaming was to much for the family. Good luck.

5. Or put an ad on Craigslist.com

Someone will appreciate it. The ads are free as well.

7. my all time favorite joke is a parrot joke...

A sweet little old lady of the Christian persuasion goes into a pet store and asks for a talking parrot.
The shop keeper says he has just one but he is reluctant to sell it to her, as the bird swears.
She says not to worry, she is willing to retrain it.
She gets it home and tries to get it to say, "Polly wants a cracker."
The bird answers, "Polly don't want a damn cracker."
The woman says, "Bird, I'm a Christian, I can't have that kind of language." So to punish the bird, she pulls the cover over the cage and goes away for 20 minutes.
She comes back and again says, "Polly wants a cracker."
And again, the bird says, "Polly don't want a damn cracker."
This time she pulls the cover over the cage and leaves him overnight.
The little old lady is persistent and tries again, "Polly wants a cracker."
The bird is just as persistent, "Polly don't want a damn cracker."
The little old lady tells him again, "Bird, I'm a Christian, I can't have that kind of language." And to punish him this time she puts him in the refrigerator for ten minutes.
When she comes back to get him, he says, "Damn it's cold in there."
She is beside herself and in frustration puts him in the freezer.
The parrot is looking around and sees a couple of whole chickens, a turkey and a goose.
When she comes back for the parrot, he says, "Hey lady what did them birds say--FUCK?"
