I am so sorry, hun. :bluhug: Peanut was such a bundle of joy, I always enjoyed reading about her.
Her memory will always remain on AA and in all our hearts.
You gave her the best life. Try to always think of her with a smile.

Thank you everyone. Forgive me that I'm not responding to anyone individually right now. I know I should, I just feel drained. The impact these little feathered ones have on our lives with their intense needs and emotions... I don't even remember what it was like not having a bird since I'd had Peanut since I was 13. I just feels tremendously wrong to do simple things like turn out the lights when I leave her room.

But your kind words really do help, and how many of you loved and cared about Peanut too. I mean it sincerely; thank you. And for everything I learned in the last 8 years on AA that had such a positive impact on her life! I stopped partially clipping her wings, added sprouts, red palm oil, and certain herbs to her diet, discovered many great vendors with bird-safe things that were very hard to find in Alaska, and found one of the most wonderful passionate avian communities for myself.
:hug8:

I took the time today to backup a lot of my favorite Peanut pictures to my new phone and laptop, so I don't loose everything if something happens to my PC.
These were the ones that made me smile, and a few memories.


Fluffypoptarts sent Peanut toys a while back... this one turned out to be her favorite but on their introduction she started yelling when it touched her foot.



She rarely wanted to go to bed in her cage and would do all kinds of nonsense to get out of it. One night she slept like this for around an hour if I remember correctly.



Ah, toy making day... and Peanut spend the entire time playing in a 5 cent plastic cup.



"Wait, where did all my toys go?"



A butt!



And the slow death of the last calendar I hung in my room and a not-at-all guilty bird who is very bad at hiding.

I'm so sorry for you. Peanut was such a huge part of AA also.
We are all going to miss her.
It's so hard on us when they go. :(

Those are gorgeous pictures. What a lovely and full life Peanut had. I am deeply saddened by your loss. 2/3 or your life! Birds really are special friends. They get to know us in ways we can never know ourselves. They share their lives with us, their secret little whispers and naughty moments. I hope through all of the heart break and pain you can continue to enjoy all these lovely photos. She will truly be missed. :sadhug2:

I am so terribly sorry to hear about precious little Peanut. She was such a wonderful little cheeky girl, and so many of us loved her and reading about her sweet little potato adventures with you.

(I’m so happy that she loved one of those toys so much - her initial reaction was hilarious. ❤)

It was very brave and loving of you to let her go. Even in that kind of situation, I know how incredibly hard and painful that choice is - and I have never had to make it for such a long-time companion. You were the best birdy mama to her. :sadhug:
