This is Wilson.

He used to live in a separate apartment always outside, under LED lights that were forever on, never covered, and in a small cage with only one toy. He would whistle to me when I was on my walk, and was quiet until he saw me. I knew this cause if I took another way I would never hear him. But if I turned the normal corner he would immediately start doing our whistle

So after a while, I eventually left a note on the people’s door and asked to buy him. Well, a week later i got a text askign to meet up in an hour. When I get there they open the door, hand me the bird, and go on thier way.

I don’t even know the birds name, but he’s mine now.

But long story short(ish), Wilson is the best bird and even non bird people love him. I don’t know how to explain it, but he is a whole living conscious person. He immediately flew to my shoulder and stays their pretty often now. He has his own backpack with a perch and comes on road trips. My nephew is now obsessed with and constantly get disciplined by other birds.

Most birds may be assholes, but Wilson is definitely the exception.
