I am so sorry for your loss, she was such an adorable little :(

Thank you guys for your kindness. And I apologise for my incoherence in my post last night. I think the fact that it was just a baby really gut punched me.
You don't need to apologise! It's totally okay to be upset!

Everyone is getting packed up this week and taken to the avian vet to have theirs removed. I'm not having them tethered to anything that can do that to them again.
:heart2:

Bird heaven just got a bit more beautiful. From the biggest to the smallest, the sadness is the same. I am sorry for the loss of your beautiful puffball (from the picture).

I am so sorry for your loss, that is devastating. :( I think you made the right call to remove the bands. I did that to all of my girls, except Sellie. She will be next after we survive moving.

Sincere condolences for your loss. I feel very sorry for anyone that would say such a thing as they must be a miserable person.

Last night I posted a photo of this little one because she was too cute. Today she ate out of my hand for the first time and stole my heart. Tonight I had to stand in the vet's car park while she was put to sleep. The breeder put rings on both legs that were too chunky but also really tight. She got it caught and snapped her ankle. I told the vet that money was no issue if it came to saving her. I actually burst into tears on the way home. The fact that she was a baby just destroys me. I think a surgery charging £160 because it's "out of hours" at a surgery that is open 24 hours a day is more than a little exploitative though. If one person says to me tomorrow that it's just a canary... :(

Truly sorry for your loss. It's never a mistake to care about any living thing...no matter how it ends.
