The text is a written contract. I don't know what your contract says. I don't know how he can repossess a bird, since it is in your house and the man is not and you don't plan on letting him inside. He could take you to small claims court for the other $100. You may want to work out some sort of payment plan with him, but get receipts that show the amount owed and each payment made.

If the deal was that you would pay $500 over time for an object that you have already received and you have failed to make the entire payment, then yes, the seller can repossession the object and return your payments.

The seller probably cannot repossess your bird because there is no security agreement covering it, but he still can sue you (probably in small claims court) for the $100 balance that you owe and use the text as evidence.
