I went on and on about J's big decision and as destiny would have it, I will have to make this decision for him. Here's the deal...
Once you domesticate a wild animal, it is very difficult to release them back into their natural habitat and have confidence that they will survive for any length of time. Strict evolutionists would say that I commited my biggest crime by taking J in at all. Nature, left to it's own devices would have either saved J of her own accord, or he would have lain on the ground and starved to death, thus following the sometimes seemingly random harsh dictums of evolutionary selection. In effect, I snubbed my nose at Mother Nature and took on the role myself. And, according to chaos theory I may have stared something that will be felt as a monsoon in Asia.
Either way, now I have this beautiful bird and friend who cannot return to his natural habitat. Let back into nature he would surely not be afraid of people who want to harm, animals ready to pounce, and unkind meteoroligical events. After much cogitation and discussion with those who have been through this heart-breaking yet rewarding process, I feel I have two options - J can go to the zoo where he will have a semblance of nature or he can remain a pet.

Hmmmm, hard to say. A guy like that, who loves to fly, needs more space in which to do so. On the other hand, he shore likes his mama. *smiles* Kids gots to grow up though, so my vote is to find some aviary to take him to, and maybe he'll find some cute J-girl to keep him company. *winks*
