IDK if Chary will delete this, but this is a response to me asking in a PM how Punky is doing:
"We've still got him, actually. My uncle, who loves birds, ended up visiting and telling us how to take care of him, cuz my dad didn't want to give him up, and the rescue center couldn't take him. It's a little weird, but Punky's doing great, and is now part of my pet-family lol"
