I'm sorry it's taken me so long to reply to all of y'all. I just started a new job and with that, family issues and Remmy's passing...I've been emotionally and physically swamped. All of your kind words mean so much to me. It's hard to find people in my none online presence that understand how painful the loss of a bird is. To them they are 'replaceable' 'pets.' It can be quite frustrating. Today, as I was cleaning up the bird room (aka my bedroom which has long ago been taken over), the song "Supermarket Flowers" by Ed Shearen came on my spodify playlist...If you've hear that song you might get why I absolutely burst into tears. I sat down on my bed, and my Goffin's, Frankie, flew onto my knee. she nuzzled into my arm and did something she hasn't in months, she started making baby bird noises. She wouldn't stop cuddling up to me, crying quietly herself, and it really reminded me that not only am I not the only one feeling his loss, but birds are so, so in tune to you. I have no doubt in my mind that she was trying to comfort me. That she felt my pain and held that with me. I feel so lucky to have her, and Sam, and am so lucky I got to know and care for Rem for as long as I did. Anyway, sorry for another rant, writing is how I process things, and having a place to share my thoughts has been very helpful. Thank you all again. <3
