Neglected Bird
So, I'm going to use LJ to vent for a minute.
LJ FOR VENT, WHO KNEW
Not about super emo shit though, I guess. At least, not stupid super-personal emo shit.
I went to Sean's sister's apartment this evening for probably the second time tonight. I know she has a terrible, terrible roommate. Her roommate refuses to get her cat spayed and has a bird she basically neglects. I'm already disgusted by how she treats her cat. I feel powerless to do anything. Well, tonight I took a special interest in the bird because I had the time. The poor thing was nipping at me and OBVIOUSLY extremely stressed out, but I talked gently to it and moved slowly and eventually it let me pet it. Once I did, it calmed down and smoothed out its feathers and heartbreakingly seemed to accept me and allow me to give it the love and attention it so obviously deserves. I saw a glimmer of starved happiness in it. The cage was filthy. The bird is obviously neglected. And it's obviously not a mean bird by nature, I demonstrated that tonight, it just needs a little love.
This completely breaks my heart. I hope you know how badly this breaks my heart. I wish I could take it home with me tonight and give it the love and attention it so desperately needs.
This bird does NOT deserve this. It doesn't deserve it one bit. I'm going to ask Sean's sister to ask her roommate if she is willing to give up the bird. If not, I will ask her if she will take money for it.
The bird does NOT deserve this. ;____; *heart-broken* I don't know if I can forgive myself if I can't do anything to help it.
