Goodbye Pepper

[Jean20057]

It is with an incredibly heavy and shattered heart that I tell you all that we just lost Peatri's old cage mate, Pepper. They were best friends, and fell in brotherly love for each other literally at first sight. I sit here, broken and shattered, as a parront without her babies. In just over 2 weeks, I've lost two of my boys. Pepper was my first budgie, my first bird actually. He is the one who actually created my intense love for birds. He was also the reason we got Peatri. I got Pepper in 2013 on my birthday, and Peatri a couple weeks later. They were both only 4.5 years old. They basically came into this house together, and they left the same way they came.

I love you both so very much. And even though my heart is shattered into pieces so small they're not countable, you both are safe, happy, healthy, and together once again. Mommy and daddy love you unconditionally, and miss you terribly. Always remember that. We will hold you both again someday, and it will be an amazing reunion.

Oh sorry, that is hard to take. Loosing them both so closely. A donation was made in each peatri and pepper's names to Cornell University for parrot related studies and programs.

This is so painful! But the alternative is to live a life without love!

My deepest condolences for your losses of Pepper and Peatri. May their vibrant and loving memories comfort you in a time of grief.

I am so sorry about your losses. You did everything you could have done for Peatri and then lost his buddy, as well. That's got to be incredibly painful. My heart goes out to you.

I know how badly it hurts to lose a baby. I recently lost my parrot and the hardest thing for me was not knowing his exact cause of death. Kidney failure, yes, but why? I feel guilty, but there's no one thing I can pin it on. Guilt is a huge part of grieving. If one of those thousands of "what if's" floating around in my mind is true, I'll probably never know for sure. The best you and I can do is learn more about taking care of our little ones and shelve the guilt so it doesn't interfere with our efforts.

May you have peace of mind as your little ones cross the rainbow bridge.
