Is AUTHOR wrong in the post ? POST : It's a bit weird but I have myself in a dilemma. 

So my family has this bird, we have two and he's my favorite pet out of all of them. Don't get me wrong. He does nothing most of the time. But I love him to death for it. I've always wanted to take care of a pet while actually just co existing together. He was abused by the last house (he screams whenever a person or a hand is close, his middle toe was broken and never fixed so it's healed in a strange way) he was in but he's definitely in much better care now. My mom feeds him and changes his waterbowl everyday. 

My family can tolerate him which I can accept. Sometimes he sings very loudly in the hours of the morning and my family is a very night owl family. I am not, I'd already be up ready in the morning to start the day. So sort of like a second alarm. It's just another thing I love about him. 

Of course being a bird he makes a lot of mess. And I know my dad hates messes but there's nothing he can do about it. If I remove the bird it would just be one less mess to stare at. 

My mom doesn't clean his cage all that often and doesn't spend the time to actually know him like my other bird (who was not abused and very cheerful). It saddens me to see him only allow to exist in a cage. He's a beautiful blue ringneck and he loves to come outside of his cage. One week my mom was out on vacation and I let him out of his cage everytime I was near him he would come out, sit on the door and sing a tune just for fun. It's was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen a creature do and I didn't need to congratulate him because he would've gotten scared. He allowed me to just enjoy his singing. 

I would clean the cage myself but just last week my dad tried to clean the bathroom, which was not much he took out the trash and wiped the tiles and sink. She went ballistic. She has a weird thing where she wont clean but she wont let anybody else clean. 

I'm almost old enough to independently move out and get a place of my own and it would always be a scene just like my moms vacation for the bird but with a cleaner cage. A much happier state of mind than the house currently. And my whole family wouldn't need to care for him anymore. But he is also the family bird and scared that my mom will call theft on me and go crazy on my dad and brother who I will have to leave behind. I just want the bird to have a better place to be and my dad not to have to worry about another pet anymore. 

So, WIBTA in taking my bird with me? 
And if not, I was thinking about removing him the night before but as I said he's scared of hands and people which make him scream at the top of his lungs. That would wake my family up and I don't need that. I want him to have the least trauamatic experience getting from one place to the next. But I haven't exactly worked out the details and need help with that.
