I'm in shock... I can't tell you how sorry I am to hear all of this and how it all played out. I wish I lived closer, I would help you out anyway I could as often as I could.
My in-laws moved to Buckeye last year. So I will check with you any time we plan to visit and would be more than willing to help you out with anything you might need. I know this may be too little too late. But the offer stands if your bird is still around (which I hope it is). Either way, I will touch base with you next time we come down if that's ok with you?
Just take it one step at a time and it won't feel or seem so overwhelming.
I'm so sorry this happened and even more sorry it may take your dream away because of this one persons negligence and unscrupulous behavior.
Again, I wish I could help out in some way that would make a difference right now...
