No more showers with my little pals, it seems when one died six months ago not even a parakeet could take up the slack for the other. I raised them both from the time they hatched, hand fed them around the clock till they were able to fend for themselves. I will bury him next to her and make another stainless cross, it was a great nine years. They will be missed!

awwww Jonny I am so sorry...that brought a tear to my eye. I had a couple of birds when I lived in Cyprus years ago. I used to put them on the back of the cat while he was eating. The cat would just let them stand on his back.
I will say a prayer to the bird god to look after them for you.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((Jonny)))))))))))))))))))))))))

what were their names???

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Pepe and Queenie....Theres a funny story to that, I was new to breeding birds and still reading every book I could get my hands on....Not knowing how to determine the sex of birds that young I went with my best guess. Well, the female ended up Pepe and the male ended up Queenie......Man, did I fuck that up.....LOL ;;D

Bringing a bird home from the pet store is one thing, hand feeding them and knowing they count on you to live is another.

Thanks folks, it means alot.

So sorry to hear about the lose of your buddy Jonny. My family have had a couple of budgies for the last few years and they always cheer me up in the morning when I take the cover off. Thier  always in a good mood and it kinda rubs off.Raising them from chicks makes it that much tougher  :(

I'm sorry hun. It is so hard to lose a part of yourself with them.  There are times when I still think I hear my old cat that passed away 6 years ago.   :'( Just makes me realize that she is still with me, no matter what.  Dont be so sure that they will not check up on you.

Oh jonny...so sorry to hear you have lost your shower partners and long time friends.  Remember they are waiting for you and you will shower together again one day.  You gave them a very long life full of love.  What more could a bird want.  I will pray for peace in your heart.  So sorry for your loss.

pets are the best...Little Deb :'(

So sorry for your loss Jonny.

I too have cockatiels, George and Gracie.  They are 15 and 14 years old and still breeding.  I've had them since they were 6 weeks old.

It is amazing how much company a bird can bring to a human.

At least they are back together again now!

So sorry Jonny!

jonny...don't know where to start. Well it started 20 years ago..when i met my probably first true love...Sam a 7 month old Blue & Yellow Macaw. Well to say the least...he's still here..and about 14years ago...he met his..well..(sister)..Merlin.
Talk about aggitation...these fuckers never let a day pass hardly without a shower...without a meal at the table....without a love bite....without just true unconditional love. This might sound harsh...or weird..or even sick....but.....it would and still is harder for me to see an animal die than a human. I have grown so attached to these 2..I know I'm gonna lose it close to completely when one goes..because I know that not far behind will be the other...that's how they work. Ya know jonny..Macaws mate and bond for life...if one dies...or is killed..the mate never repartners..NEVER. I know how you feel....I've lost  a bird before...not good. So listen...slow down...CRY...remember....every moment you had with your buddy...dont rush things...because there won't be another to take the place...but if you take your time...you will Love again. If I can do anything..please let me know......remember jonny...life will go on....and you will go on too.     Luke

That's what it's about jonny. Life is a powerful,fragile,exciting,curious and short thing. Being a part of those birds lives like that teaches us and reminds us of that.
Having unconditional companions like that is an added bonus of course.  ;)
