I'm so sorry Sarah. As others have said she couldn't have had a better home. She was so loved and will be greatly missed. I'm glad you could be with her at the end. She had such a great life with you. Much love to you and your family ❤

:crycry:I came home from shopping and had to recharge my phone. This was not the news I wanted to read.
Sarah and Joe, your loss of sweet Rosie, deeply saddened me. I always loved hearing/reading Rosie girl threads. She was such a special sweet girl and was lucky to live in macaw haven with all of you. Fly high and sweetly over that beautiful bridge, Rosie, you have so many friends to play with there. Greg is waiting just for you.
They fly into our hearts and leave feather dust on our souls forever. .........:cry3::crycry::cry3:

I'm so sorry to hear about Rosie. From watching the video…what a beautiful and talented lady she was. I have no doubt she gave her heart as much as she received from you and Joe. God always picks the prettiest flowers … and now the heavens will shine a brighter color with all of her majesty. :sadhug2:

How sad, I never knew of Rosie but reading your announcement has brought me to tears. I am very sorry to hear of your loss and I really feel for you and your husband. I can feel how loved she was from the way you have written about her, I am pleased you were all there together for her final moments so she left peacefully knowing she is loved and cared about.

Hugs to you and your husband.

I'm crushed to find this at 3 am, I can only guess at the loss your family must feel right now. She was such a huge personality and special bird. She touched a lot of lives through the show and your reach online, and inspired a lot of people to take notice of these beautiful birds. A unique soul even in a species where every individual member is trying to outdo each other in some way.
I will miss reading about her, thank you so much for sharing her stories and videos with us. AA is something different, where we can have an emotional connection to good people and a special bird we will never meet. She is deeply missed.

I'm so sorry.

For Rosie, I am glad she got to pass quickly and as peacefully as possible surrounded by those who loved her. I wish that for all companions and family, and hope I get to do the same. She got to live a long, wonderful life in one of the best homes with some of the best people a macaw could find. Her retirement to your home was well earned and filled with love.
