Losing a loved one is never easy, and dealing with their belongings afterwards can be a challenge. One man found himself in a difficult situation when his father passed away, leaving behind a 20-year-old scarlet macaw named Rainbow . With no experience in caring for a parrot and living in a rented apartment, he was unable to take Rainbow in. His extended family refused to help, and he eventually found a new home for the bird. But was this the right decision? His aunt certainly doesn’t think so…

The Parrot Dilemma: Right or Wrong Choice?
After his father’s sudden passing, a man found himself responsible for Rainbow, a 20-year-old scarlet macaw . Unable to care for her and with no family members willing to help, he eventually found a new home for the bird. While he hoped he made the right decision, his aunt disagreed, insisting that he should have kept Rainbow as a memento of his dad. As the debate continues, we turn to the internet for their thoughts on this emotionally charged situation…
