A small bird leaves a big hole, I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm glad for him though that he got to pass peacefully, that's very touching. In his sleep with an old friend watching over, he knew right where he wanted to be and who he wanted to be with. Also glad to hear that ScooterX and Mr. Chirpy are looking like they are going to get along. I hope Mr. Chirpy can help, it's heartbreaking to hear about poor Scooter looking for his mate. The only thing worse than our own pain is having to watch them suffer and grieve as well. :(

Oh no! John, I'm so sorry. I loved Hal and his feisty little spirit (not to mention his adorable face). Fly free little one.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss, the thought of your little baby coming for a last cuddle had tears running down my face. Big hugs for you and your flock.

They haven't stopped running down mine since I read that either.

John, so truly sorry for your loss. Hal is quite possibly the most beautiful little bird I've ever seen.

How is the lil spudster & yourself doing?
I am doing fine.

It’s been over a week and Mr. Chirpy doesn’t really have any interest in making friends with ScooterX (I kind of knew that was going to happen). They get along fine but ScooterX needs a friend.

So I’m looking for friend for him. Easy enough to find a rehomed budgie.

I went by the local Humane Society a couple of weeks ago to see if they had any birds. None.

So I looked on kijii for a candidate. Tons.

A grandma bought her grand daughter budgie for birthday because she “just had to have one”. That lasted about 3 weeks. Grandma has now had the bird back for a couple of months. She does like the bird but wants it gone. (“Who knew such a little bird could make so much noise and make such a mess?”)

So he’s been at my brothers place for a week. He’s vibrant, active, vocal, young. Long enough for me. I’m bringing him home this weekend.

That's wonderful news! :cantwait: The part where he's coming to live with you, that is, not that first bit about grandma impulse buying a bird. :confused:

We all can't wait to meet him, too!
