Elaine,
I'm so sorry to hear about your mom and dad. Unfortunately, that scenario is more common that you would think. Caregiving for a spouse with Alzheimer's is so stressful and depressing. For men especially, since they are not natural caregivers. Women seem to do a little better - since we generally have some child caregiving experience. I'm glad that your dad is getting the help he needs. I hope your mom does OK in the nursing home. It is not what you wanted, I know, but sometimes is very necessary. It sounds like you have too much going on right now. Take care of yourself.
P. S. I don't know anything about birds, sorry!
