Thank you everyone. I just went back and read all the comments. Life goes on...but it's been real hard without him here. So many kind people have reached out to me in so many ways. I donated Hiram's cage, play stands and toys to the second chance here on the island. All the sales from the store go back into the no kill shelter. As far as a new bird not sure what I will do next. I do know it will probably be a smaller birds. I've been checking into parrotlets, linnies and gcc. Nothing is set in stone. Just asking a lot of questions and reading about them all.
