I will admit, yes, I am a little concerned that I will grow so fond of her I will wind up adopting her. She has been super sweet so far and what a clown. I keep telling Rick (b/f) not to even let me consider adopting her but he really likes her too!
When a new foster comes to someone's home, we are required by the rescue to take photos and submit a "bio" on the bird within 10 days of it coming into foster care. The bio and photos go on FPRs local petfinder site so people can look and see which birds are available. It dawned on me last night that I have already had Daisy for 8 days and I had yet to write the bio. I wrote bios on Remi (foster tiel) and Pele the Pi within a few days. Subconscious? Maybe. I am not ready for her to leave my house yet.
I did submit the "yep" video, she will be adopted quickly, even though she doesnt step up yet. In the long run, the sooner she is adopted the less bonded we will be to each other, the easier it will be to let her go. I just keep telling myself, my house is not that big. If I adopt another bird I will have no more room to foster. I can help out so many more parrots in need of homes if I foster than adopt. Yep (nodding head like Daisy) that's what I keep telling myself.

Not that one bird replaces the other but you get a feel for the personality of the species itself, although each bird is an individual
This would, no doubt, make me a bad fosterer, so it's just as well I don't do it.
