Hi all,
This is my first post, even though I'm a long time lurker. I just had no where else to go where people would understand.
Last night, during a very strong storm, a tree fell and hit the house. It greatly scared my two cockatiels, a standard gray male named Drumstick, and lutino female, named Chicken Wing.
They had been covered and were already asleep, so it really bothered them. I took a while to comfort both of them, and when it seemed they both had calmed down, I recovered their cage and went to bed. This morning, when I woke up, my baby girl was not moving. I open the cage to check on her, and she had passed away in the night.
I am inconsolable. I'd raised them both from hatchlings, and had to work really hard to keep her alive as a baby. She was my most cuddly, and always love to snuggle with me. I'm in tears, and happen all day. To a lot of people it sounds silly, because she was "just a bit", but I feel like I've lost a piece of my heart.
I'm sorry for dumping this on everyone in my first post, but like I said, I know where else to turn where people would understand. I love and miss her so much. Thanks for listening.
James
