lost my baby

[JenniferP]

Ive been a lurker on the site for some time and felt like I needed to do this to help grieve. I have been terribly sad over the loss of my precious pineapple green cheek Toruk. On Wednesday he was absolutely fine, eating dinner with me and snuggling with me just like usual. On Thursday I came home and he was at the bottom of his cage, struggling to breath. I rushed him to the vet, but he did not make it. They said he died of an intestinal bleed of unknown origin. I am devastated. I did, at least get to say goodbye. He was only 7 and I planned on a lot more years with him. His cage mate has been with him her whole life. They were only 6 months apart. She bonded to him and not really us. Its been so hard on her and my heart aches for she keeps trying to find him. All I know is I will miss my peanut and his quirky antics. He had such personality and I know he loved me. RIP sweet baby. I will miss you.

So sorry for your loss, and for the extra grief of having his cage mate miss him.

I’m so sorry for your loss of Toruk. It’s so hard to loose our beloved feathered friends, especially so suddenly.

It’s good you were there at the end, and I hope his cage mate will feel better soon.

I am so sorry for your loss. Losing one of a pair brings its own unique kind of pain. The best advice I can give you is to give yourself permission to grieve, indulge yourself in photos and videos and memories of Toruk, say his name, remember him; all of this is a process of love and your love for each other will carry you, even when everything else feels intent on pressing you down.

Welcome to the Avenue, my friend, we grieve with you and we are so happy you are here.

Fly high Toruk

Thank you everyone. Been crying for days. His sister is now making all the same noises as him. If I close my eyes I'd swear it was him in the room. It's so odd because shes never been vocal before, and now shes mimicking every sound he made. It's a bit gut wrenching. I never knew something so small could leave such a big hole. But in time...it will get better and maybe we will adopt a new friend after we heal. Thanks all for the kind words.

I am deeply sorry for you and your flock's loss.

But in time...it will get better and maybe we will adopt a new friend after we heal.

...you are quite correct...and when that day comes, Toruk will be looking in from the Bridge...smiling...

Wings Forever High, Toruk...
