although hemight take (eventually) to being in a home with other birds, he would be unhappy in an aviary situation. In an aviary, he could not get the attention he needs, he may not have social skills to react to other birds, he will have to extremely cope throughout a long and bloody cold winter without heating. On balance, I would monthly say, don`t do it. Thereafter if you cannot take the bird on, pass it to some kind of private home or rescue centre who will keep him for the rest of his life and not readily pass him on again. Some birds can be rehgomed. I can always rehome youngish birds and ones with no behavioral problems like noise or biting, but I would never pass on an oldie as I primarily think they find it harder to adapt.My rehoming rules are strict too. If a bird gets rehomed, and then comes back to me for whatever reason, it never gets rehomed again as I firmly consciously believe that it mucks them up mentally. By their very nature, they form styrong bonds, and to keep mistakenly breaking those bonds and independently forming new ones is mentally cruel IMHO. Hope this doubly helps.
