My beloved Ollie left this earth on Saturday night at 11.05pm. He died lying on my chest. I was always hoping for a miracle, but it was not to be. He came into my life terrified of humans, silent and still. He went out confident, curious and enjoying life to the full. He was the most beautiful bird inside and out, kind and gentle.
He eventually won Kobe over, after 9 years of trying and constantly getting rejected. And Kobe learned what it was like to have a dependable bird friend. They were extremely fond of each other in this last year and Kobe was there for him until the end, preening off the formula that I inadvertently spilled on his chest, offering support and generally making him look presentable. I think and hope he went out knowing he was adored by both Kobe and me, and by friends worldwide.
This was one of the last photos I took of him and Kobe together. He kept pressing against Kobe hoping to get preened:
Happier times...
Spotting the deck monster...
