He would refuse food and water, and scream non-stop if he felt he was left behind. It can be very damaging to their mental state if the people they've bonded with leave them.
Yes, the bird would definitely be coming to college with me. My parents already refused to take care of it while I'm gone because they're taking care of the lizard and 2 snakes already. I plan to get an apartment off campus, because not only do I not have to worry about the school's regulations at that point, but apparently it may be cheaper than getting a dorm. Or if I go to Eckerd college, I can just bring the bird with me on campus.
