11 years ago I brought home a full grown cockatiel. I didn't know any better at the time and thought I would teach it to sing and sit in my hand. Well, he learned how to sing and talk, but I could never hand feed it or train it ( it almost bit off my dad's finger, my mom and I would feed him) so he would just sit in his cage and whistle and talk. This was in Puerto Rico, where after I moved out, he still is. Now I know better, did my cockatiel research, and have a loving relationship with another cockatiel here in Seattle. Now I'm faced with the decision of trying to bring him home with me to a loving home, or asking my mother to set him free (she recently gave him away to a cousin who was going to try to train him, yeah right!) What should I do. I've been told that in Puerto Rico he'll be happier free in the lush green mountain side surrounded by thousands of fruit trees, but I've been scared he'll get eaten by a snake, of which there are more than plenty! What does anyone recomend?
