Lutino Budgie - Otto 3/16/21- 11/4/25
Thinking about Otto as my 39th ( 12/8) approaches. First one in 4 years without my precious dude.
Family wants to visit and take me out to eat but not sure I want to. I miss him. I'm doing okay, I smile watching his videos. Some days harder than others.

It really is just the hardest thing, @OttoVonRuthless316. Maybe your family could visit and either bring food with them or order pizza delivery rather than going out? I found it very difficult going out for a long time after I lost Baci and Lilly, people mean well but it was hard and I cried in a lot of restaurants. See how you feel on the day, but just make sure you put your own needs first.
 
sent an ornament like this but with Otto Von Ruthless on it to Otto's vet Dr Jewett... Hopefully she hangs it on the office tree to remember her favorite patient. It'll be there on my birthday next week.

After a few years when the pain of losing Otto isn't as fresh, I think you should consider getting another budgie.

It'll be decades if I ever think about getting another bird.
 
However long it takes, I think you have a lot to offer a bird. Right now is not the time to even think about it.

One year since Anakin passed 11/2/24
Also my mothers birthday
She passed 7/8/23 at 92yrs young.
I miss him every day
All day long.
I grieve for him every day. I break down every day.

I know what you are going through. I hope we can both be at peace some day
