Strolling the yard
First of all, I want to thank every person on this site. Just for being here, for helping me when I needed help, and for helping Rockie.
I regret to inform you all that Rockie has passed away. It was very sudden, and I'm still in shock. I don't know what happened.
Earlier, she was flying and landed on some things I had on my table beside my TV, and she seemed dead. She wasn't moving, her legs were tucked up under her body and her toes were curled. I picked her up (and cried profusely, begging her to get up) and I felt her stomach. She was breathing. After a moment she started to blink and after that she hopped up. She was shaken up and I was relieved. I held her and made sure she was okay. I thought her wing was broken but I was wrong, she flapped fine.
Then, I thought it was her leg since she was wobbly when she stood on my finger. But she was moving it fine so that wasn't it.
She sat on my knee as she always does and was okay, then about 15 minutes later it happened again. She went stiff, fell off my knee and onto the floor. The same thing happened, she was breathing, but not blinking and other than that she looked dead. I thought that since it happened again something was really wrong.
I ran to my dad who was in the bath and begged him to come look at her. at this point she was doing a bit better but I said it happened twice. He said he would take her to the vet once he finished with his bath so I waited with her. I waited until he came in and told me to get her into the travel cage. She was on my shoulder so I tried to have her step up but she flew away...
She hit the wall. It broke her neck instantly.
I cried with her, this time she wasn't breathing. Again, I was begging her to get up. My dad came in yelling, not knowing what had happened. He was the one to tell me she had broken her neck, I couldn't bare to move her while I held her in my hands.
This happened about 40 minutes ago. And I regret every wrong move I made.
We buried her under my window outside.
I miss her. But I want to thank you all, because all of you have helped me in my times of panic.
So, thank you
And thank you Rockie, for being my little companion for months. You made me laugh so much, you gave me so many silly pictures, so many bite marks and so many kisses. I'll never stop missing you, but you can be with Paulie again.
I love you Rockie girl.

It sounds like she was having some sort of neurological issue, which could have also made her fly into the wall. It’s not your fault, so you shouldn’t have any regrets. You gave Rockie a loving home, and I’m sure she knew how much you loved her. Fly high little Rockie.
