Diane: Max's behavior after losing his long time buddy is really similar to Bailey's after Snickers left us for the Bridge.
I wish I could say he came around, but he was never the same bird no matter what I tried.
Those moults made things even more heartbreaking for me...the physical as well as the emotional pain he was in.
I also relate to the struggle with having no birds for the first time in 50 years. It is hard for me to get used to the emptiness...the silence. I am too old, now, to begin a new relationship, but I wish things could be different.
Good thoughts for Max...and for you.
