Goofy (YNA), Oscar (Goffin 'too). Foster bird Betty (RLA). RIP Cookie, 1991-2016 ('tiel), Leo (Sengal), Charlotte (scarlet macaw). Grand-birds: Liam (budgie), Donovan (lovebird), RIP Angelo (budgie)
Cookie was happy and singing this morning when I fed everybody. I had a doctor's appointment and left around 8:30. I got home around 11:30 to discover him on the bottom of his cage. Thankfully his last few weeks were happy and pain free. This gives me some comfort.

Precious baby... At least his last few days were happy ones. I'm sure he's singing to someone at the rainbow bridge. Bless your heart.
 
I'm so sorry for your loss. You gave cookie an amazing life♡

What's weird is that Saturday I had this overwhelming need to do a photo shoot with all the birds and I was quite bitter that I couldn't get Goofy to cooperate, so I don't have a shot with all four of them at once. I have a couple with Charlotte and Cookie, one with Charlotte, Cookie and Leo, and a few of just Cookie. I'm really glad I got those pictures.
 
And Leo is being all weird. His cage is right next to Cookie's. I think he's wondering what happened. It's like he's looking for him.

That's really a blessing, many sweet memories.

Oh, Beatrice, my goodness. I'm so very sorry. I had wondered from time to time... how is he doing?
I'm just very glad he was safe in his loving home when his time came.
Big big hugs to you.

Aww, my condolences, you gave Cookie a peaceful,loving place for his last few months. I know you will miss Cookie, but you did your best and it was, for him.
 
I had to drop by again, to read replies, and also... to give you more hugs.
 
Thanks. I'm snuggling with Charlotte and Leo a lot today. I kept looking at Cookie's cage and bursting into tears, so MrC cleaned it up and put it in storage. Now the empty space makes me cry, but not as bad. Charlotte is on my knee right now, being all cute, so that helps.
 
I am so sorry to hear this. Sweet Cookie had a long, wonderful life with you, and I know how much he will be missed. I am so sorry for your loss:(
 
I'm so sorry about cookie I'm glad that he got to live his life with people that loved him so much.
 
Thanks guys. I'm a mess. I kinda knew it was coming. Even though he was flying around getting into all kinds of trouble as late as yesterday, his poops still weren't normal. We didn't want to out him through the pain of testing for treatment hat would buy him months at best, so in my heart I knew we were doing birdie hospice with the pain meds. I'm just glad he passed today when MrC is still in town. He's leaving in a few hours and won't be home until October 5th.
 
It's hard not to be a mess with things like this happen! They become such big parts of our lives, such big parts of our hearts. I'm really glad to hear about you getting in your photo-shoot, it will make it that much easier to keep his memory. And down the road once time has healed the hurt a bit, you will have the reminder of all the good moments you spent together!

I'm so sorry for your loss though, we will be keeping you in our thoughts here at the Davy flock. That's 8 arms, 12 wings, and 16 paws worth of hugs being sent your way.
 
I've been going through the same pain as you with Charlie's passing, and I'm sorry you're going through it too. It sounds like his death was quick, at least. It didn't sound long and drawn out. Sure, you'd been giving him pain meds for a while, but at least he was happy and alert shortly before he died. We're all here for you :).
 
So sorry for your loss, Beatrice. Fly high, Cookie.
 
Oh sweet Cookie, hope in the passage of time your memories of Cookie bring more smiles than tears.
 
I am so sorry you have lost Cookie. You tried so hard to discover his ailments and used the best of judgment keeping him pain free and happy. Cookie knew he was deeply loved. I know his sweet memories will prove a powerful comfort.
 
My deepest condolences for your loss, Beatrice.

Cookie had a good, long life with you, and thankfully he didn't suffer toward the end. I'll keep you, your flock and your family in my prayers.

Fly free, Cookie. You will be missed.
