Chickens are my theraphy

My therapist suggested getting ducks and try that out. I told her thats more work compared to chickens. Having a water source in the backyard will create new problems I think like mosquitoes and such. So I told her ducks wouldn’t work. Then she suggested getting a parrot. I didn’t want that either. I had a conure that was very cuddly but nibbled a lot and destroyed everything she can get her beak into. I also tried a parrotlet, very small bird that learned to speak. He became so dependent on me that she would scream all the time. It became unbearable. My family and I took a weekend trip and we had my father in law watch our bird. Our bird got sick after we got him back - he actually lost some of his feathers when we picked him up. Then after a week he died. Something happened but we can never know now.
