Oz passed away this morning. 2 weeks ago he was limping, and the vet said his uric acid levels were too high. He seemed to be getting better until yesterday he had a set back. I guess the gout had advanced too far, and this morning he passed away. I miss him so much already. He was my little brat, my eagle boy. He wasn't my first bird, but he was the first bird who choose me as his favorite person. He was so cute and I loved it when he'd hang out with me and get scritches. I'm going to miss his little voice saying "good boy" and "come here". He was my little birdie, and he was such a joy to have around. I'm gonna miss his quirky habits. I'm gonna miss him flying around like a torpedo. It hasn't really sunk it yet, he was only 1 year old. His gout progressed so fast.
