I am so glad I found you guys. 2 days ago we lost our little ray of sunshine, Mango very unexpectedly. She was a 3 year old Sun Conure and I literally spent more time with her than anyone except my son...including my boyfriend. She did everything with me when I was in the house. The only time she was in her cage was at night to sleep and while I was at work. As soon as I walked in the door, she always came straight to meand stayed on my shoulder until it was time for me to go to bed at night. I don't understand what could have happened, she seemed fine and then she started acting very sleepy and wobbly and within an hour she couldn't even stand up. She just seemed to drift off to sleep until the very end, my son held her in his hands while we stroked her and cried. At the last second, she suddenly started breathing very heavy, she tightened her grip on his finger for a split second, flapped her wings twice and then it was over.
We are both so devastated by this loss. It's hard to understand how such a small body can hold such a huge personality and have such a grip on our heart. Our house seems so still and quiet now...and we have 3 dogs and an African Grey. This is truly the most I have ever mourned the loss of a pet and I know that no one that has never experienced the friendship of of one of these little guys can understand like you guys can.
Thank you for listening..I needed to get it off my chest and I start crying every time my son and I talk about her...he is going to start thinking I am nuerotic soon..lol. I just miss her so much, I feel lost.
