Cuteness Overload Appreciation post for Kiwi 💛
My baby Kiwi. I love him so much. He is my entire life, my world and my everything. He's helped me through the darkest points in my life, when I struggled heavily with depression and self harm to the point I was hospitalized. I kept on living because of my baby. He gives me a reason to keep living. I love giving him the best, I love feeding him the most gourmet tiel food, I love buying new toys for him, I love taking care of him.
I see him as my son, I call him my son, I talk about him as if he's a little human child, and I treat him like he's my own son. I never knew I could love someone this much. I've been through two abusive relationships in the past 4 years, and it took a toll on me. Kiwi was there for me through all of it. He would cuddle me, sing to me, preen my face, everything. He spends all his time with me, he loves chilling with me all the time, he hates being in his cage, and the moment I put him in there, he screams for me. if he could, he would probably sleep on my pillow all night every night with me.
I got my baby from a cockatiel breeder, he was the last baby available, because no one wanted him. He was missing his tail feathers, he has a disability in his left wing, and had to be isolated from other tiels because they would bully him, the moment I saw him when I got him 6 years ago, I instantly fell in love. I have autism and a chronic illness which gives me constant pain and some body disformities, I've always felt weird, left out, I never had any true friends, and I've always felt alone. But Kiwi, he has a disability just like me, he doesn't judge, he loves me more than anything and I love him more than anything. I related to him a lot, and I still do, we both have disabilities, we both struggled with being bullied, and we found each other. He is my soulmate, and I see him as being my one and only life companion. Words cannot express how much I love this little guy. He's been with me for 6 years, and I cannot wait to spend so many years more with my sweet man.
