Please accept my most heartfelt condolences, @bauercrew! Unfortunately I know only too well how devastating this feels, all the more awful since your boy seemed to be happy and well only the night before. I hope you can take some comfort in the fact that he was surrounded by your love and safe at home with you when he passed - I have lost beloved ones when I've left them at the vet clinic and as devastating as it is to lose them under any circumstances, I know which way I would have preferred for it to have happened. I am so sorry for your loss, and I wish for peace and healing for your broken heart.

Godspeed to the Rainbow Bridge, precious Bozo, until we all meet again, and I have faith that we will 🌈🙏

Take heart friend. Parrots sometimes pass away unexpectedly and it hits us the parronts of them the hardest. A lot of folks on here have experienced this, I know I have. My little BeeBee parrot Max, literally passed away on a matter of an hour, one minute he was OK and the next just...... gone. Max passed away almost 9 yrs ago, and it still hurts some, but mostly I remember the great things, the loving things about our time together. MY condolences to you.

Whether a year old or 39 years old (my bird's age), parrots can touch a mysterious and magical place in our hearts, can't they? I'm so sorry for your loss. Please be at peace in the knowledge that your darling passed into Eternity carrying your love alongside, and that's a wonderful gift. xo

Don't ever apologize for expressing your grief! I don't know you or your beloved bird but I feel your pain! My own throat feels constricted and my eyes are dripping tears for your loss.
