I spoke with them again, I have requested an necropsy, and to send away tissue samples.


they seem to think more was going on with Safari than just the metal in his stomach

Oh Beth, I am so so sorry to hear Safari died. I've been away a few days and had no idea what was going on. I can only imagine how you must feel. Such a terrible loss. Sending you many many hugs.

We are all here for you if you need or want to talk about it. I wish I could be there in person to give you a big hug. Hang in there.

My heart breaks for you. The other night I was cuddling my senegals and thinking of you and your poor baby. I willed so much for him to pull through this. I'm so so sorry sweet. Wish I could give you a big hug with all you've been through recently. Please keep us updated on his results.

I'm so sorry. :(

For all of you worried about bird bells and such, consider investing in this type of bird bell. It's 'encased' so you still get the noise, but the bird can't get to the clapper part.

thank you each and everyone of you for your kind words and thoughts.

Right now I can't even go into the bedroom and look at Safaris' empty cage, but I guess I'm going to have to sometime today.

this really hurts....if I had known I wasn't going to see my Saffie anymore, I would have said my goodbyes yesterday.

god I only had him for 11 months, and he was just 1.5 years old. For a Senegal, he was just the sweetest, he never bit me ever, and training was coming along nicely, even though he was temperamental and stubborn.
2 days ago he was flying around the bedroom like crazy along side Kahlua....I guess you just never know....

I hate toys, Num Num was lucky, I was lucky....such a cruel lesson....why do things always happen to the good birds???

the last funny memory I have of Safari, was him swinging on his polly perch swing....how ironic, that exact swing was the one that caused Num Num to break his beak....
Safari would from side to side on it, not back and forth like every other bird, nope he would swing and sway, copying the squeaking noise it made, I wanted to get a video of it, but got busy with other things, that is one regret I'll have forever.

R.I.P. my sweet Safari
I miss you terribly

Something I learned with the passing of my Wonsy woo - snap and video every moment that makes your heart swell, because you'll hate it when the day comes and you can't take any more... I have maybe... 10 photos of my girl in total and I hate it...

I'm so sorry for your loss, there really is nothing more I can say to help you heal but we're all here for if you want to talk about him. Gone far too soon... a sennie that doesn't bite? God wanted him back! :)

I'm sorry... :(
