Hey Im Back

[Birdgirl24]

I'm not even entirely sure if y'all remember me, but I used to be really active in here, and I had two SUPER cute budgies, Julius and Indigo. With sad news, I come to say Julius passed this morning at about 3 In my hands, I have no idea what I'm gonna do without him. It's only been a few hours, and I've already cried more times than I can count. His little cage buddy hasn't moved all day; he looks just about as depressed as I feel. Julius would have turned 10 next week.... That bird kept me going through more things than I can even count on one hand. I really owe him my life. I suppose I knew he was getting older, and I was just in denial. I really thought I would have him still into my college years, and to be completely honest, just typing this has me sobbing. A part of my heart has been torn away, and I don't think I'm ever getting it back. Anyway.. I hope he's happier now, and I'm gonna stop typing before I actually start sobbing.

Oh @Birdgirl24, welcome back but I'm so sorry for your loss. It's true what they say, that there are places in the heart that we don't know exist until we love a bird. And all of those places shatter into a million pieces when we lose them, that's why it hurts so much. Our hearts eventually do heal, but it takes a lot of time and they're never quite the same, but that's ok because I think it's good that they leave an imprint there. My deepest condolences and lots of hugs go out to you, Julius was a lucky little birdie to have such a loving parront as you.

I am so sorry Bird. It was so obvious how much you adored and cared for him. Please take care of yourself.

Im so sorry! He almost made it to ten which is a good long life for a budgie, but I know that almost makes it harder to let go. Feel free to grieve hard for as long as it takes and trust that it gets easier.
In the meantime, you ought to get his friend a new friend to distract him from his loss. Fortunately, even though budgies bond strongly, they do adapt to new friends. I wish you lived near me in Maine because I have some budgies I'd rehome to the right person, in particular a fiesty but very friendly tame male (or two).

I'm so sorry for your loss. Julius was a very loved and loving friend, and I know how heartbreaking it is to lose a feathered friend—the little souls fill such a big space in our hearts. Hope you feel better soon.
