So very sorry. "It is a fearsome thing to love what death can touch."

Like that quote- things are settling down here- zippy is adjusting- starlings are good at that- spending time with the pet house sparrow- GG will always be special in my heart

It is always so sad to let go of your best friend. Im afraid with my BoyBoy, Im watching the beginning of the end, after 14 years. As a chick, I had two of them ,but one was crippled and died young. It was soo sad to see BoyBoy mourn his companion. They both learned to talk very well( numerous whole sentences). BoyBoy invented some and BabyGirl invented some. From the time BabyGirl passed, to this day, BoyBoy never again repeated what BabyGirl said. One day shortly after BabyGirl passed, I had a mirror.Just for a split second, BoyBoys little face just brightened up, but instantly realized it was a mirror. It was so sad to see him turn and walk away, so diappointed.
How such a face, made of beak and bone, could show so much emotion, was just amazing to me. They are the most wonderful little birds!

Dee and BoyBoy

i agree, i think it has been harder to watch zippy as she worked through it- she now will sing GGs songs in the morning, almost like a tribute- i think he will always be in my thoughts- even with all the other animals we have- since he opened quite a chapter in my life- i appreciate your sharing
