I am guilty of NOT telling Sam to leave the fan alone. When I was reading that thread I could forsee a disaster in the making.
Wish I had been wrong then. Hope I am wrong now.

I'm so sorry for your loss of your babies.
They fly into our hearts, and leave feather dust on our souls... forever....

Thanks,the only comfort I have now is probably this profile picture,I guess.I still live at my house,since the bedroom close to the balcony isn't that badly burnt.Don't bother about my family,they'll probably be throwing stones at me sooner or later.Right now I'm using a library computer at my school since my laptop is burnt.
The other comfort could be the remaining birb feed at the balcony and the steel cages of Crown,Umbrella,Johnson and Star.And Johnson was just starting to be a sweetheart!He took cuddles!
There is no rescues here since Singapore is small and the birds(especially big birds) here are little and as I said in another post before,people could sell birds that needed help because people would buy them for the 'glory of owning an exotic...(which I find depressing)'
I just made a one year membership to Jurong Bird Park yesterday and though I still couldn't find a soulmate,good enough for now,I suppose.Thanks for your support.Still chillin'.Eh.But I'll be off until I find another birb.
And for those who asked. samchan153@gmail.com

You're not alone. You're surrounded by friends here. It's not an exclusive club where you have to have a parrot to belong. And belong you do.
Please, stick around Sam. Take a break if you feel you need it, but do come back.

Ah. So glad you're ok! Yes please stick around, everyone here would like to know how your doing. Glad you joined the bird park, we don't have anything like that in my area! Give yourself time and take care of you. :bluhug:

That is so heartbreaking. I am so sorry for your loss. If and when the time comes, the right bird will come into your life. It won't replace the hole that your babies left but will help.

Does anyone have his email or number?
If you pm him, he will receive an email with a copy of the message
Edit: just saw he gave his email.


So sorry, Sam. I know it hurts, but try not to blame yourself. These things happen. Thankfully, you’re okay.

Sam, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. I wish I saw this thread sooner.

If you need a listening ear over milo, teh or kopi, or you would like to go Jurong Bird Park together sometime, feel free to private message me also.

That gathering will be the first time I'll see a Palm up close and personal because I saw some at the Jurong Bird Park and even some actual Black Roo-Tailed Cockatoos,more commonly known as the Black Too' but often mistaken as the Palm Too' due to common name.

So sorry for the tragic loss of your Avian companions. You must be numb from the shock of losing them that way. Life can be so very unfair.
My deepest condolences'. :darkcloud::sad1::sadhug:
