Sadly I lost my all time best friend back in June. I had just started a new job and had to work a Saturday. Woke up and went to uncover Tookie as usual before I left for work and found him passed away in the bottom of his cage. Well needless to say I lost it right there and still do when I think about him (nearly constantly). I bought him as an egg in '97 and we were best buddies. He had just had a physical 2 weeks prior and was in perfect health. Only thing I can think of as to what happened was he fell off his perch in the middle of the night and broke his neck on the way down. He had a large 4'Ă—4'Ă—6' cage and love climbing all over it. He was born a little spraddled legged so that made him a little clumsy when climbing. Im completely lost without him (pauses a moment to compose myself). I want to replace him now but cant really afford another congo grey at the moment.
Sooo, my question is, are there any places I could possibly find a rescue Grey that hasnt been abused, or cusses like a sailor, or other bad habits that usually is the reason people are trying to get rid of one? I would rather find a baby Grey and bond with him from the beginning. I am a 60 year old single dad with 2 daughters and 4 grandaughters. They all loved him and he gave the love right back to all of them. I just dont want to go on without having the special friendship of a Grey that they give. I dont think I can justify a "go fund me" for a pet, but the new job and the usual bills are preventing me from just going out to Bird Fever on the north side of Indy and picking out a new one. I would give anything to have my buddy back and to have to dust the furniture again to clean his dander up LOL. Some one please help me with this. Im completely lost with out my best friend. My youngest daughter even spent several months doing a 2'Ă—2' "diamond painting" of him for my last birthday.
Fly In Peace Tookie.I miss you so bad.
