I finally tracked down the person who adopted my Quaker from me 5 years ago. I found her email address and sent an email last night saying I was Figaro's old owner and asking if she still had her, how she was, etc. All I got back was "Hi No sorry, I had to rehome her. Thanks" :mad: :sad2: :sad1: :mad:

I have never gotten over rehoming my 2 birds. I begged both people to keep in contact with me and neither did. I found my GCC this spring on craigslist and got him back, and even though I wasn't able to keep him I found him the best home ever thanks to AA. Even though it was hard for me, I feel like I finally have closure and don't worry about him at all. I know he is happy as can be and in the right place. This has made me even more determined though to find out where my Quaker is. She was my first true birdie love and we had been through so much together. It just eats away at me to not know how she's doing or if she's even alive. Needless to say, that was not the response to my email I had been hoping to get. I'm sitting here at work bawling my eyes out. I really hope she'll give me the contact info of whoever bought her.

Here's my girl. Two hard drive crashes later, I've only been able to track down pictures from our first year together. I miss her so much.

Thanks guys. It helps to be able to vent to people who understand. My friends and family don't understand why I'm not over it already. :(

I'm so sorry to hear :( It must be heartbreaking. Is there a way you could email her again and ask her for a contact info of the new owner??

I replied to her response 2 min after she sent it, but I have not heard anything else so far. I will keep trying though.

I'm trying to get that info. I don't know how long ago she was rehomed though, so they might not have it any more. I feel so guilty. That would be her 4th home. She did not deserve to be passed around like that. :(

Dont give up hope that you will find her! Ask the person you gave her to, if you could have the persons contact info of the person she gave the quaker to. And always check craigs list and classifieds. You must always stay hopeful that you will find her. Thats what you can do for her right now. Dont give up hope. :hug8:

I admit, every time I see a Quaker ad, I secretly wonder if she is yours, not that I would really be able to tell :(

Thanks Mercedez. I've been checking craigslist for over a year and I reply to any quaker ads that look like they could be her. That's how I found Rocco my GCC. She would be 13 or 14 now.
