I can't imagine...

...going through two losses so close together! She lost another in May. Let us know how you are doing, Sees...

Three losses in the past few months. Hurricane the budgie, Riley Tiel, and Rico Quaker. Hurricane had Cancer, Riley was elderly and I think it was his time... and Rico too, was elderly, his illness was too much for him.

It's very difficult. But, my flock is old, except for 2 of the budgies, and I know, goodbyes are going to come sooner rather than later. So, though sad, I am still trying to capture each moment I have with them in my heart, so the memories one day will bring smiles.

Sorry I've been quiet. I am also dealing with the post-surgery restrictions and the aggravation of this bandaged hand. It's giving me more pain than the other one did. I'm okay, but distracted. Tonight I'm doing cleanup in the room here. After I pet Tweets with my nose again. He's a weirdo. But any way I can pet him, I will.

I hope your hand heals up soon. Yes, all our birds were older, too, and we’re down to one now, Cookie, and he’s 16. It’s so hard to lose them. I don’t think he’s our last bird, but it’s very possible we will be birdless for a while if he goes. I’m sorry for all your losses. A triple whammy.

There is a very large flock flying high with them. All of our birdies who have gone before...

If I were much younger, I'd adopt some birdies who need homes. But at 63, I'm slowing down a lot, and want to focus on the ones I have now. If I am birdless and know I'm too old to adopt any more, I would certainly see if there is a rescue to donate to, or other ways to help the birdie world.

That's a good idea, seesthru.
