Speaking of senior birds. This is Jazz (green budgie on left) who is at least 16 years old. He has started to show signs that his life is coming to an end. The last couple of weeks there has been noticeable weakening of his system on a whole.

Hal has been extra attentive and gentle. He is confused as to why his partner is not following him around lately. He knows something is not right. Breaks my heart yet again. :(

He won't be with us much longer. Keep the little guy in your thoughts. :hug8:

Aw, I'm sorry, John:sadhug2::sadhug2::sadhug2:. Give your elderly gentleman a skritch/cuddle and give one to Hal for me to. From what you've said you'll all be heartbroken :(

Your'e making me tear up John. I love that Hal is right next to him. So special. When these little guys get close to the end you can really tell. I could with Bodie. :sad9:

He knows he is loved by both flock and human alike. Lots of his favorite treats and extra loving. He has had a long, beautiful life with you. So sorry!

I'm sorry John.

Rosie has a bad month and then gets better, still aged but better.

When she has sleepy days we leave her in oxygen a few extra hours, it seems to make a big difference.

Positive thoughts for Jazz. What a sweet boy Hal is being towards his friend. It's so difficult when they age and that time :( is near.

it's nice the Jazz has a friend to there to comfort him. I think they know that there is something isn't right with their friend.

Sorry to hear about Jazz. You took care of him for a long time and will be there till the end along with his buddy Hal.
All we can ever do is love them and take care of them as best as we can. Nothing can stop the age factor.
Hal probably knows already. Big hugs to you John. :hug8:Enjoy him as long as you can :)
