Fly free, Sweet Maggie...

[Terry57]

This morning I found my little lovie, Maggie, had passed away. She had been fine when I did the first part of the feed, and then was gone when I was doing the veggies. She came to me along with Zoe and Lemon, and was the odd man out.
We were told that they were all 2, but Zoe and Lemon were banded and are now 9 and 11, so Maggie could have been any age.
This was Maggie when she first came to us.

We found her a mate over a year ago, moved them to their own cage, and they have been bonded ever since.
The last thing Maggie did was preen AB.
He did go down and say goodbye to her, but I can tell he is hurting, he keeps calling for her.

Sweet Baby Maggie, you will be desperately missed.

I am so very sorry for the loss of dear sweet Maggie. Sending healing hugs to you and AB.

 

[Flboy]

It is so hard on everybody! Poor AB!

 

[BeatriceC]

Huge internet hugs. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I'm so so sorry for your loss!

Absolutely, fly free, little Maggie.
My offering, as always: "May the pain of losing her soon be outweighed by the joy of having had her in your life."
She passed in a safe, warm, loving place with her guy at her side. That's a great launch for that flight.

Prays for you dear friend!

I'm so sorry, Terry. I know you will miss Maggie desperately and so will her sweet mate. Please know how happy you made her while she was with you, she was happy until the very end of her life.

Fly free, Little One, you will be forever missed.

Sorry for your loss.

Oh Terry, very sorry you and AB lost Maggie. What a beautiful face. She found happiness under your wing, and a loving mate. Extra cuddles for AB as he mourns his loss.

Fly in peace, Maggie.

 

[Terry57]

Thank you all so much for your kind words and thoughts, I find them very comforting.
AB is still calling for her, and I wish there was something I could do to ease his grief.
Also a huge thank you to Allee who happened to be on the phone with me when I found Maggie, and held my hand through it.

 

[Allee]

Huge hugs and a huge, you're welcome. I'm just so sorry for you and AB.

 

[Piasa]

My thoughts are with you Terry, and for Maggie's grieving mate...

 

[GaleriaGila]

I am so grateful for you all.
It's an indescribable comfort to know that this community is here for me, for us all, for our birds.

So sorry for the loss of your sweet Maggie. Sending you lots of love and feathered hugs.

 

[wrench13]

Your little girl is flying free and remembering how nice you were to her.

Bless you both.

Terr, I'm so sorry for your loss. You may not know how old Maggie really was, but take heart in the knowledge that her time in your household was filled with love, contentment and complete happiness.

Fly free, sweet Maggie, unencumbered by physical restraint. The rainbow bridge awaits.

I'm so sorry Terry. Not that I ever want to see someone having to post in this section, but when I saw it was you and one of your flock, my heart dropped even more than normal. Your help and advice has meant so much to me since I've been here, I just wish there was something more I could do for you now. You will be in our families thoughts.

This probably sounds a bit cliche, but one of my absolute favorite movies is Hook (the Peter-pan spin-off robin williams did ages ago) and the quote he uses toward the end.
"To die would be a grand adventure", You gave her a wonderful life, and now Maggie is on her next adventure.

Again though, i'm so sorry.
