I lost my sweet baby, Kiwi, yesterday. She was only 22, so young for an Amazon. It was so sudden and I can't stop crying. I miss her so so much.

I'm never going to hear her whistle, laugh, or talk to me anymore. I'd do anything to have her back, just to have her sit on my knee one more time, to have to her come over and beg for some cheese, I'd even let her do her best to bite my finger off if it meant having her around to say goodbye.

She died at the vet's office, surrounded by strangers. She was alone, confused, and scared. I regret that so much, I regret not fighting to go in with her. I expected her to come back with me that night, I expected the vet to find out what was wrong and help her. Instead, I buried her.

They think she had a stroke. They said there was nothing I could do but God I wish I had done things differently. I wish I had given you a treat. I wish I had given you pets one last time, I wish I had done so much more for you. I'm sorry I didn't. And now I feel so so lost.

Kiwi, I love you. I know you're in a better place now, without pain or fear or confusion. I know Grandpa is giving you all the almonds you could eat. I love you so much baby girl. I hope you know that. I hope to see you in my dreams.

Your poor heart! :sad4: I'm so sorry your darling Kiwi is gone. I understand the "once more"s. :( I felt that way when we lost our Pistachio after only a year and a half, but I can't begin to imagine that feeling compounded over 22 years. I hope you find some comfort here as I did. :sadhug2:

I am so sorry for your loss. I too lost my Amazon too early. He was 18 and he died due to an awful accident.
The 'what ifs' and 'should haves' still haunt me and I regret so many things, but over the years it has become a bit easier. I try to remember that he spent all of his life with me, and he was a very happy boy, which a lot of poor parrots don't experience in their lives. He used to say so many things and we loved each other very much.
I take comfort in knowing that he will stay in my heart for always, as your Kiwi will stay in your heart. I found that writing down everything I remember about about him helped, I have so many memories, as you do. I also had his picture painted. Please come on this forum when you are down. It really helped me when I lost my little man.
My thoughts are with you at this sad time.
