I am a little bird
"I did not cost thousands to buy. I am not a rare species you can brag about owning. They call me a 'starter' bird. They call me a beginner's bird ! I am all too often an impulse buy that can be dismissed when I am too much trouble. They do not understand me, and breed more of my kind, when so many are already looking for homes. They lock me away. Ignore me. Sell me. They don't see me, they don't know me.
I AM rare. The price tag that is placed on me and my size do not define me. I am the only one of me you'll ever meet. I do not think I am small. In my mind I am a large bird with a personality and intelligence. I am affectionate. I too deserve a big cage, respect, love, medical treatment, and adoration.
I am irreplaceable. You will never find one like ME again. Do not define me by my size, commonness or price tag. Love me and I will love you back.
