I LOST MY BEST FRIEND

I'm devastated over the loss of my beloved Black Cap Caique, named Aurora, of 20 years and I'm reaching out for support. I'm not a first-time bird mom. I've rescued several birds in my lifetime but this precious, silly little clown rescued me. I'm slowing acclimating to life without my little companion. I never realized until now how quiet my house is with her gone, it's almost haunting. I'm quickly realizing over the last 20 years 'the times' have changed and locating a reliable Caique breeder is rare. I was in shock to read the magazine, "BIRD TALK" is no longer in circulation. This makes me sad because I l truly enjoyed reading the magazine for their interesting articles and hilarious bird stories from bird owners all over the country.

I'm very excited to hear from all of you and sharing your 'bird stories' with me. It's very nice to meet you.

Sandy P. from the Sunflower State of Kansas

Good to meet you but under bad circumstances

I try to stay positive but today marks her 1 week anniversary of her passing. I've never mourned so hard for an animal in my life. She was an amazing bird, if I may brag, but every bird owner thinks the same way about their bird.

I’m so sorry. I have 2 black heads and a white belly. It would kill me if something happened to them.

I. am deeply sorry for your loss of Aurora.
We all know the pain you are going through...all too well.
Take time to grieve your tremendous loss...because it takes time to heal our hearts.
It's something I've learned also...it is the reason my user name is Cassiesdad...because Cassie is a Lesser Sulfur Cockatoo...who passed in 2011.
If you want to PM me, free free to do so...I'd love to hear about Aurora...

I understand totally. I literally took off from work because I couldn't think or focus. Work was the last thing on my mind. It took every muscle in my body to say good-bye when I put laid her to rest. So many memories running through my mind. I wished I would have thought at the time to remove her leg band so I could make a charm necklace with it and have her close to me.

I do believe I will find the comfort I need amongst this "Tribe" of Bird Lovers such as myself. Until you have a bird in your life, there is no better feeling. Birds are the "Feathered Whisperer" to our hearts.
