[Allee]

It's great to see you here, Mark! I wish the circumstances were better. I'm sorry to hear you're having surgery, I hope it goes well and you recover quickly and completely. Wishing Sarah the very best at college.

 

[Terry57]

Mark, it is good to see you again, but I wish things were better for you. Wishing you a speedy recovery from your surgery. You have been missed around here.

 

[wrench13]

Good luck know brother and get well soon .

 

[RavensGryf]

Mark, I also wish things were much better for you right now. You're missed. I wish all the best for the upcoming surgery, your continued search, and Sarah starting college.

A post from you, Mark, always brightens my day. Just wish I could help Maggie return to make your day. Keep on searching and never give up!

I hope your surgery goes well and is successful with a speedy recovery.

 

[plumsmum2005]

Sending healing thoughts and all good wishes for the impending surgery and of course never giving up on Maggie coming home.

 

[BIRDIGIRL]

I know that one of these days will be the day we read about how you and Maggie got reunited so I keep coming back to this thread just waiting for that day to come.
Hope the surgery goes well Mark and that you have a speedy recovery and I wish Sarah well in College too...wishing you all Good Health and Happiness and the return of good cheer and laughter to your home and your hearts soon

 

[LeaKP]

Always hoping to see that there's good news about Maggie. So sorry it's still a waiting game and that you're heading to surgery. College is a big new step! For both of you! Hoping for the best and glad to see you back.

 

[Anansi]

We can truly understand how rough it must be on you not knowing where Maggie is, but it's heartening to see that you haven't given up hope. And as you have seen in these posts, no one here has, either. We're all pulling for you both to be reunited.

You'll be in my prayers as you go into your surgery, Mark. And please extend my congratulations and best wishes to Sarah! She must be so excited.

 

[Dopey]

I'm so glad to see you back posting again.

 

[AmyMyBlueFront]

Mark Its good to read a post from you brother. I find myself on this amazing forum more and more. Not just because of the connection we all share with our fids,but because of the "family feeling/connection" we share...I dunno might sound weird lol..I feel closer to a lot of these great people than I do to some of my "friends" lol.

I hope all goes well with your surgery Mark..prayers for you and for Maggies safe return as always.

It's been hard.

Life just isn't the same without her.

I am still actively looking for her. Networking with all the local bird shops, vets, clubs, online, etc. I just doubled the reward to $2000.

I got a disturbing phone call this weekend. Someone found a dead greenwing in San Antonio. That bird had a band. It wasn't Maggie...

Sarah starts college tomorrow. I've had some health issues. Having surgery next week. Haven't been online much.

This doesn't change any of the circumstances of what you've had to go through this year but as Perjo and myself grow a stronger and stronger bond each day I keep thinking of this story of yours and what you've had to go through losing your Maggie. And it truly does impact how I view my short term and long term plans with my 9 mo CAG. I always think about what's more important to me, her living as free a life as she can and not hindered with the realities of a domestic pet life, or her always being a part of my life which is still probably the best life she can have even if she doesn't quite get her "full" freedom.

I know how awful I would feel or would deal with losing her, so I use this thread and your story to drive me to keeping her healthy, safe and make sure I don't get careless and arrogant in how I handle or treat her. Not to be misconstrued as you ever getting careless or arrogant yourself.

I still hold out hope you'll be reunited with your Maggie.

 

[Mariar]

I share your story with folks around my community, how anything can happen. I think about you,Maggie,Sarah, and the rest of your flock a lot. There's a lot of love on this forum..don't ever forget that.

 

[EnglishMuffin]

I haven't been around this forum in a long while due to work commitments taking up my time. I can't tell you how heartbroken I am to come back to news like this.

Mark, your advice, not just to myself but to others on the forum, in large part shaped how I handled and trained my little Sootie, who I got so green and inexperienced two and a half years ago now. Your help shaped our bond, and I am devastated to learn you've lost your girl in such a brutal way. I know someone will have Maggie and just isn't saying anything. I can't imagine your heartache <z3

 

[GaleriaGila]

Birdman... I, too, think about you and Maggie often. Not only have you been a model of courage and determination, but...
[I hope I say this just right.]
You have also been a good example of openness, sharing (even of such a sad thing), and also, just reminding us of the precious treasures we have (in our birds) and how we ought to cherish them every moment. We never know what may come...
I do thank you.

A green wing with her beak markings just showed up in my FB feed on the Parrot 911 page. The bird is in Cali. at a humane society. Never know.

I called them. That is a male macaw who was turned in for Biting someone. He is up for adoption if anyone is interested in the Inland Orange County area...

Long shot, but I thought I'd post this

I was hoping also Grace. I even posted to see if the bird would respond to the name Maggie just in case. At least the bird's family was found.

And Mark, I know quite a few of us will never stop keeping an eye out for Maggie until she is hopefully found. I know every false alarm has to be disheartening, and I know it probably doesn't mean much from me since you don't know me very well, but the wife and I keep you and maggie in our thoughts hoping she finds her way home.
