Sharing these photos cuz they're the cutest of the bunch I have! They've taken to hand feeding extremely well and even ate out of my mom's hand! (They did scare her though when they jumped into her palm LOL)

The first photo is my bird Apollo eating from my hand today, the second photo was my bird Hyacinth when she had to go back into her cage because my mom's dog got in the room (she was NOT happy), the third one is my babies discovering a bath for the first time after I tried 3 different baths until we found the perfect one they would use, and the 4th one is from when I thought I lost them for 20 minutes after heading to the bathroom only to realize they hid under the blanket on top of their cage!

They are absolute sweethearts (other than when they bite me because they ate all the food in my hand and got mad when it ran out lol), and I'm so glad I got them!! They're getting some new toys as well either this weekend or next weekend, but it's going to be hard because I realized they get really attached to their toys but one of them they've ripped to shreds so it has to go lol. Still doing research into which vegetables are suitable, and if you have any recommendations on what to get them to try, please let me know!

Got told at the vet he might just be having a rough molt and to try and get him to bathe himself more to help loosen pin feathers. It spread to his beak and I'm still keeping a clear eye out, and I found a pretty big feather at the bottom of the cage today like it had fallen out on its own along w/ a few other small feathers. I'm not sure if I should let him have access to a bath daily, but he has had 2 so far since his vet visit and he's bathing himself and even letting me carry him on my hand with no problem. He's still as chipper as ever too. How do I make him more comfortable?

Asked in a parakeet subreddit for help last night because my dad said he'd take me and then proceeded to yell at me and say he was overreacting. He told me today he'd take me but when I asked him not to smoke in the car since the smoke could kill them, he scoffed and told me I was asking for too much. I'm not taking chances with my father and my mom won't be able to drive me since she refuses to drive long distances, not to mention I can't ask my sister because she and her boyfriend vape. If my brother had a car, I'd ask him. Please help me, I don't know what to do. My poor baby has been itching his eye against his perches and everything and it's bothering him. He still eats and plays and flies normally but he sneezes a few times a day, I'm just very worried.

Edit: I live in the USA in the south in a suburban neighborhood. I don't live near any places I could quickly get to with my bird.

Update: After trying continuously to try and talk to my dad, he finally said he'd take me to the vet this weekend so my bird can get checked. I'm going to continue to monitor over my bird and his health until then. Thank you everyone for your concerns and for trying to help. His eye hasn't seem to have gotten worse since this post was made, and he even started eating from my hand for the first time.
