I will preface this post with the fact I understand being attached to a pet even if it's a little hellspawn.
I have been with my girlfriend for around 3 years now, I live with her, we've been through alot. Since the beginning of the relationship, she's had this Green Cheek Conure named loki. Loki is, to put it ever so lightly, an ass. He is loud, violent, and full of rage. Changing his food and water is an amazing way to lose a chunk of finger, open toes on the floor is a death sentence, and for the hell of it he will just fly on your head at random times for the sheer joy of attacking your eyes and ears.
He is mated to another greencheek named pineapple 2 years ago, we got her after he lost his nest mate to a cat attack(long story). This year he and her laid their first egg the baby is roughly 3 months old at this point. He has been a demon his whole life, but ever since the baby hatched, he has been on another level.
I have tried getting him to warm up to me, I am familiar with birds and getting close to animals, he just hates me in particular. I can bring treats, be the changer of water and food, clean up after him, spend time with him, generally just try to get used to my presence, and for 3 years I've been getting mauled. My girlfriend hasnt been much better, recently he's taken to attacking her without mercy either. Now the only 2 living brings in the house he actively loves are his mate and baby, he Is admittedly a good father and is very loving towards the two. But I'm at my last straw, my girlfriend is too scared to change their food so nowbik their primary caretaker, getting attacked regularly to feed the demon I despise, they leave the house trashed with seeds they spill and poop absolutely everywhere, and my girlfriend isn't even getting love from him anymore. I tried talking to her about rehoming them multiple times but the thought of it sends her into tears, the thought of getting rid of the demon us too much. It would be less stress for us, less mess for us, less cost for us, and the birds can go to a person who can really handle them. But she just refuses and I am exhausted. Atleast it's cool seeing them fly I guess
