My sweet Dan was laying in the bottom of his cage. Lifeless. He seemed okay yesterday and the day before, maybe a bit quieter than usual.

Annabelle is devastated (she considered him her bird. She's 9) as this is the first pet loss for her.

I don't want to even see my other birds right now. My heart is broken. Completely. He was the best bird I've ever had. Not going to make any decisions today but right now I am just sick over this. And Rob had to bury him and today is his birthday. One hell of a birthday present.

Oh Brittany, I am so sorry you lost your little boy! What a shock. Love to you.. I hope soon you can remember the good times without the pain. You were so lucky to have each other. Our time, no matter how long or short, is never enough.

As Piasa said... may the pain of losing him soon be outweighed by the joy of having had him in your life. Even a long time isn't enough time, truly.
*hugzszszszs*
P.S. Those are good words, Printer, Allee. I agree.

Brittany, I am so sorry for your loss. These birds come to mean so very much to us, and I know all too well how deeply losing a flock member can hurt. You, your family, and the rest of your flock are in my prayers. Hugs to you all.

I am so sad to hear of the loss of your little one. Its hard to lose any bird, but when they are so young, its devastating.

Hugs to your daughter, that makes the loss even harder as a parent.

I am so very sorry, Brittany. Dan's loss is tragic and especially hard for Annabelle. My hope is your flock will be a strong anchor as you grieve. Hugs to you and Annabelle.
