Here's a picture of the baby a few seconds ago! Am finally back from the hospital and made sure to feed the baby every 4-6 hrs for 3 days. The only time the baby had to wait for from last night's 21:00hrs dinner to today's 13:00hrs lunch. He did just great! From now on, he'll get full attention.

Deeply saddened to say the bird passed away this morning at exactly 4 months of age. This little fella gave me a lot of love and I was so happy to see him grow into a very beautiful bird. I still fondly remember saving his life...twice. First when his parents stopped feeding him and second when tissue stuck to his ass and he almost died from not being able to take a dump.
Sadly, my dumb maid just HAD to disregard our repeated warnings not to leave soap and water on the floor and slipped n injured herself, taking her out of action for 2 months now, leaving me and my wife burdened with the entire work of the house, alone at a time when we needed help the most as we just had a baby, eventually costing me my daily time with my birds, my father and my wife.
These 2 months are a time I will never get back - not with this bird. Between looking after the kid 12 hours daily and cooking and housework and groceries, I was barely left with any time.
I will always remember how fondly he would come to me and cuddle everytime i went near the cage or when they were in free flight or when i bought fresh boiled food to the cage at 5 in the morning. I am devastated at his loss because he was like a second child to me, having been born just before my son and fed by me 24/7 for 2 months. It feels like i just got stabbed straight into my heart.
I had a feeling last afternoon when I saw him having trouble breathing that his time may have come and spent 2 hours cuddling and kissing him - moments I will forever cherish. He came to me when I brought fresh boiled veggies in at 6am this morning beforeI went to bed. When I woke up at 11am, my wife gave me the news that he had passed away. I'm almost 40 and by character I never cry but I cannot hold back my tears today. I hope he is in the heavens flying free in paradise and that he forgives his daddy for not being to spend more time with him....

Awww, sorry to hear. Sounds like you gave it your all and his short time with you was totally sweet and full of life. Thank you for putting the effort into him! And as we all hope, one day we'll be reunited with our lost humans and animal friends alike. Hang in there. I'm sure he knows he was loved.
