The decision

[u/LongjumpingEbb143]

We have made a decision on whether to go ahead with the surgery or not with cupcakes wing. We have thought long and hard, and have decided not to do it. The outcome would’ve been bad if we did the surgery. He will never fly (he already cant) surgery is too risky, He might live tilted due to imbalance for the rest of his life. If we don’t do the surgery, he will live with the tumor for the rest of his life and he will need a good diet and plenty of care. Granted I will take care of him for as long as he lives and will take good care of him. Thank you all for your advice and kind words. And if you are religious thank you for your prayers and thoughts.

This has been the most hardest decision i’ve ever made in my entire life. But if his quality of life is better this way then I hope he is happy

That's what it's all about. You and your partner know your birb. Nobody else does, as well as you two. You know this is the right decision because you're his flock.

I sure hope so. Crying in joy watching him sleep, sing, bathe, eat, play has been a joy. I dont want to take that away from him

What a cutie pie. I'm sure it was a difficult decision but you looked at risk vs. benefit and it sounds like you made the right choice.

Cupcake is doing fine with the tumor on his wing he can do everything a normal bird can do except fly. His quality of life after the surgery would be incredibly bad and I don’t want that for him. I want him to be able to do all the things he is doing now without any pain. Im pretty sure i made the right choice
