Sir Higgins Festesworth.
I went into my room last night before bed, and found him lying on the bottom of his cage. I didn't react when i first saw him. I dont know why. I just opened the cage, picked him up and took him into the kitchen where I set him on a piece of paper towel. I just kind of looked at him for a few minutes and THEN i burst out crying and couldnt stop. It was late, and i was home alone.. I clipped off a few of his feathers to keep and then i put him in the freezer like Chrissy told me to... I didnt want to go sleep on my bed because his cage is in my room so i sat on the couch with my dogs and cried. My friend called me and talked to me for like an hour.. not just about him kinda about everything just calming me down.
Frig. I knew he wasnt a healthy bird when i got him. I treated him for scaly face mites, and then when he got hurt a few months ago i took him to the vet and he got BETTER. and then BAM. he was acting fine just a few hours before i found him. I dont know what happened... i dont even know. I feel stupid like i should have done something but i dont think there was anything i could have done because i didnt notice anything off about him! or THATS what should i happened. I should have noticed something.
Im crying again when im writing this. Im waiting for my mom or dad to get home from work to help me burry him in the backyard. I have a wooden box that im going to put him in. Beside where i burred waffles a few years ago. I dont want to take apart his cage.
Rest In Peace, Higgins. I love you.
