Hello budgie friends,
As the title might give away, I failed as a pet owner.
Before I can ask my question, some backstory might be required.
My parents are the (not so) proud owners of four beautiful budgies, which were purchased about half a year ago.
As I have never expressed much interest in them and my parents failed to see the care these creatures require, they have never been socialized.
Trough unfortunate Events, one of them passed on to a better place today.
Digging his grave, I realized how we basically treated them as decoration, not as living beings.
Well, a heated discussion with my parents later and now the three birdies found their new home in my room.
Now for my question. Is it possible to bond with animals after basically ignoring them during their whole stay at our home or would it be better to find them a new owner?
Thanks in advance
