It's so hard when they pass. Such a silence where they used to be. For Coolie maybe play a radio. I play NPR for my birds, because it's mostly talking, and they like that. Sometimes I play the classical music station.

I think Cookie will be happy enough with you two.



I hadn't planned on new birs at all. THe ones I was given recently, were NOT in the plan at all. I'm older, too. My tiels and Quaker are all elderly. The budies have significantly shorter lifespans, and I just coulddn't send them back. I hope I last long enough to give them the forever home they deserve. Rico and the Tiels, too.


Maybe, if you decide on another bird in the future, try and older rescue bird? But for now, I think Cookie is happy with you, and Mae's loss is too heartbreaking for you to make any kind of decisions right away.
