Last Friday, Prince our family's cockatiel passed away. i was abroad and my mom only told me the day before yesterday once i got back. i went up to my 3 other birds and sobbed for the whole night. He was my oldest friend, had him for close to 22 years (and I'm 24). what hurt the most, is that i did not have time to say good by to him. my mum buried him in a rose pot and this rose is already blooming, three white roses already :') i miss him so much.. i will never part with that plant for sure, and will take it to my place once i get one in the future :/ i am heartbroken still :/

below is a beautiful picture of him getting his favourite head scratches from my mum some 12 years ago, taken with my old nokia 6600, my first phone :/

LOVE YOU my friend, we will meet again soon :')

I'm sure you'll meet again, but hopefully not too soon...

You're too young for that!

I know it hurts, and I'm sorry for your loss. One of the things about having bonded birds, is that you just can't imagine not having them around...

and then one day you don't.

So true, the bond works both ways!

So very sorry for your loss. I'm sure it is even more difficult since you didn't have a chance to say good-bye, but I'm sure Prince always knew how much you loved him.

I'm so sorry for your loss of Prince :(. As painful as it is, we don't always get to say a proper goodbye unfortunately, though e rose pot is sweet, and something you can always take with you as you say. He must have known how much you loved him all those years.

RIP Gandalf and Big Bird, you are missed.
Very sorry you lost Prince. He was your friend for as long as you've been old enough to have awareness of the close avian/human bond.
