RE: I am thinking about maintaining my current rent with solar power (2022.02.10)

So, you can not find a room in a shared apartment/house for less than 323$ ?

I find that hard to believe.


Since the house belongs to the government, I doubt they will allow you to install solar panels on their roof.

Yes, of course I find a few, but they do not allow animals, and I have a female Harris's Hawk, so I could not move there. Actually it is very hard to find a rent with a predatory bird.

Most rents do not allow animals at all. I consider myself fortunate/lucky that the government allow me to keep my bird in their house.

But you are probably right that they would not allow the solar panels on the roof. I asked them about an aviary (for my bird) in the garden, and they said that nothing can be built in the garden, because they keep and breed pigeons in the outbuilding (I hear the pigeons, so it is certainly true), and my hawk would disturb them, and vice-versa.

And they are completely right about this.

Sorry to say it, but that is a self afflicted limitation.

I don't want to be rude, but if I struggled to feed myself through winter, the last thing I would get myself would be a hawk.

My hawk is my only real enjoyment in my life. Especially after I live alone since approximately the middle of 2018. Those who personally know me, know this. I literally sleep with my hawk. I feed her first, and then myself. Probably this is why the government is allowing me to keep her in their house. To be honest, at first they did not wanted to allow it. This is a result of a 15-20 minutes discussion with them. I explained everything, and luckily/they were understanding and friendly, and they allowed it. The hawk is not "a self afflicted limitation", but a true life saver. Without my hawk, probably I would have already gave up. I do not say that I would commit suicide, but simply give up.
