The Scaly-head Pionus parrot we've been fostering since he got lost and found us during the pandemic is driving me up the damn wall this week.

He's like a 2-year-old child in CONSTANT need of attention, and when he doesn't get it, he starts misbehaving, badly, destroying everything he can get his grubby little beak on.

I can deal with the shitting. It's the screaming and screeching and destruction that I can't deal with.

It may be time to consider finding him a home where someone is home all the time and he can get all the insane quantities of attention he craves... but the prospect of interviewing people and checking out home situations to ensure that he's properly looked after is overwhelming.

(We looked in vain for ages to find his parents, with no success. I wonder if they got fed up with him too and turned him loose.)
