username checks out , well said . <| sep |> If you don ' t care about other people , then that person you actually want is really a bed warmer or a human teddy bear ? Who would want to get in a relationship under those circumstances ? <| sep |> Yes , just like Casinos and F 2 P MMOs never tell the customer there is a limit to the amount of money they can spend . It ' s good business . It was a shrewd move when the Kickstarter took off they started their own crowd funding on their own website with no end date or estimated product delivery date . And , yes , as a backer , I ' m bringing this up as a negative aspect of the company . <| sep |> Your brother needs chores set for this bird , asap . And a few choice sentences said to him . Start making arrangements for a new home but keep it on the back burner . Tell him that you are making arrangements to give his bird to someone who will care for it better . When he screams that you are taking away his son , say well if he is your son , you are a terrible parent . Parents feed and supply water , play with their kids , and with a side eye looking at your parents teach their children how to behave and set good chores and rules for them . I can tell by the state of your bird ' s cage that you are doing none of these things . Of course he will scream and cry . Or , head it off and say look . You are 10 , you can ' t care for this bird right . However , I will give you ONE . LAST . CHANCE . You are to clean this cage to brand new once a week , every Saturday or Sunday . You must play with your bird 2 hours a day or more . Morning time , you can play a little too . You must teach your bird one trick , watch YouTube videos to find out how . Next time I come , if it ' s reported by mom and dad that you haven ' t kept up on the rules , and if I don ' t see the bird ' s trick either in person or on video , you will lose this bird that day . Tough love time .
