Ok so here's what happened: I had a budgie (some people might know them as parakeets), it was great. But after a while (I'm talking ages and ages, not just a few months) I was going through this rough patch where I had heaps of homework and stress and was really preoccupied most of the time, so sometimes I didn't get round to cleaning the cage (which was outside so most of the poop fell on the grass anyway, or I'd go to feed them only to find that mum had already done it. Anyway, mum and dad gave the budgie to some really close family friends. I'm over all that drama now, and I REALLY want my budgie back. I'm pretty sure our friends will let me have it back but how do I convince mum and dad to let me get it back? I still have the cage and stuff from before, and I know where I can put the cage and everything else. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance guys!

or:How selfish! You are not taking into consideration the budgie's feelings at all! They bond with their owners, they become used to a routine and used to the people who talk to them and play with them. It doesn't know you any more. You want to pull the budgie out of its home and routine for your benefit without any thought to what the budgie needs. That was your problem to begin with. You gave no considerstion to what the budgie needed. I'm pretty sure your stress and pressure of life didn't cause you to forget to feed yourself but it sure made you forget a bird whose life depended on you.There is no freaking excuse to fail an animal who depends on you. When you take on the responsibility, that promise of care doesn't mean I'll feed you when I don't have something else to do. I'll clean your dirty smelly cage if I remember you outside suffering. It means daily, no matter what else you have going on, you take care of that living animal FIRST. The current owner is not your bird's babysitter until you get your head out of the clouds.Get another bird and this time for heavens sake understand what it means for an animal to survive or die because of you. There are NO EXCUSES.
