My breeder friend called me in hysterics there was an electrical fire inside the wall of her aviary. (a family of chipmunks had made a nest and bit through wires apparently). Their dog woke them even before the alarm went off. They desperately tried to get everyone out as quickly as possible but she lost many birds including my lovely Gidget. She lost a male red sided a few pairs of her GCC and her much loved retired pair of B&G's. Gomez seems to be fine so I am grateful for that but my dear Gidget...she was so young.
I was trying very hard to be strong for my friend, she is feeling so guilty but of course this was no ones fault and I needed her to know that I don't blame her, this was a terrible accident and beyond anyone's control but I am sitting here today just broken inside. I have no more tears left. She has a lot of property and Gidget will be buried with all of the others she lost in a special place off to one side of her flower garden.
We had talked last week about when mine would be coming home...Gidget was starting to get better living in a flock environment she was at one time really going after Jillie and Jillie won't back down at all so there was the fear that one of them would be really hurt. Now this...I am sad beyond words.
