You can take him away, but you'll never take away our bond

Or the love I have for that little ball of feathers. I pity you. I truly pity you, because you don't know what unconditional love is really like. Loving someone and being loved by someone who doesn't expect anything in return is the most wonderful experience in the world and I pity that you've never had that.

Am I making assumptions? No, because if you had what Wiggles and I have and what I have with my other birds and my other pets, then you would never do this to someone!

I know what you're thinking...it's JUST a bird. Baby birds leave the nest when they get old enough to fend for themselves.

No. No HE isn't JUST a bird! And, no some birds don't leave the nest for a very very long time, if ever. And, that's THE point right there. Human imprinted birds are like parrots in that regard. They don't know how to fend for themselves. Parrots know they are parrots, but during hormonal season, they expect their caregivers, the one they are most bonded to, to be their mate.

Human imprinted starlings don't expect that because they don't know they are birds. Human imprinted starlings, generally do not mate and breed in captivity. Want to depopulate the starling community? Allow people to keep them as pets in every state. (Not only will they not breed in captivity, but sad to say that if someone let a human imprinted starling out because they were tired of that bird :-( He or she would die.)

Wiggles is and forever will be my child in a tiny feathery body. Give me back my child!!!
