Bye bye Bijou and Tango

I lost two of my Birdie Babies (and my turtle) within a couple of weeks.
Bijou was my "heart bird". He was the leader of the flock. He would fly to my finger and give me kisses. Tango was kind of awkward and reserved, but looked to Bijou for guidance.
My best friend of 6 years locked me out of our house and denied me access to my animals. Three of them died under her "care".
I literally broke in at the back door and got my dogs. Then my cats and birds. This "friend" went on about how she "loved" my animals and how she could care for them better than I could.
The police were involved when I attempted to retrieve my personal property.
I eventually landed in my own space.
My remaining flock of 5 buggies are happily chirping away in their aviary.
My cats seem happy to be back on familiar stomping grounds. My dogs are snuggled in and snoring as I type this.
I miss my special Mr Bijou.

I was blessed to find a former "Cockatiel Mama" who boarded my birdie babies until I got settled in. I owe her more than I could ever repay

Oh man that's devastating! I'm glad you got your family back but the deaths and betrayal are hard!

I'm so sorry for your losses! How horrible! I'm glad you could find another bird person to help you and your flock. I hope things get settled for you soon. How stressful for you. I'm wishing you more peace and stability in the future :bighug:

I am settled (finally) in my space. I assembled my aviary so my flock of 5 have room to fly. (6ftL, 6ftH, 3ft W... equals about 1.8 meters long by 1.8 meters high and .9 meters wide...)

I set up my turtle aquarium with plants for now. I haven't added fish. Maybe in the future if things go well. For now i enjoy the plants swaying in the water.
My "bird mama" acquaintance totally saved my flock while I was in the process of "landing ". She fostered them and returned them when I found my place.
