I'm so sorry! Tell us about Biwi and post some pictures of him. We have a lot of members who are grieving the passing of their birds, some after a very long time with them. There's a bereavement tab under the drop down menu. There are a lot of recent posts from grieving members.
I hope you can find some support and comfort here on Parrot Forums. We're not like other groups- we're a pretty tight knit group of extraordinary caring individuals.

You are welcome to share any pics or treasured memories of Biwi here that you wish, and please accept my most sincere condolences, your little sweetheart will carry your love with him into eternity.
Passing of a Feathered Friend

“All of us feel such deep sadness when our Parrot friends die, and because they are Animals and not Humans, we are at a loss for words. Often, it is only other Parrot owners who can understand the depth of the loss that we feel with this complex, loyal, and loving creature. Resulting from such a loss, I have placed feelings and emotions into words and found verse to console the loss of my Cleo and since her, other sweet Amazons, in turn; I hope it will speak for all of you.” - Steven
You left this world so quickly. I can hardly comprehend your leaving. Yet there, in my hands, your still body rested — no longer your home. So much I have learned, so much you have taught, your purpose a full measure beyond your size. Comprehensions of your loss still a mist but yet, I know you are whole and happy - now beyond Rainbow Bridge. And so busy you must be upon your green wings, guiding angles to those of us yet to cross. With in my ear, I still hear you, those special sweet sounds of comfort and contentment:
“Do not stand by my grave and weep my friend.
I am not here. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the gentle summer rain.
When you wake in the morning hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight.
I am the soft starlight at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry my friend.
I am not there. I did not die.”
My pray for you my beloved feathered friend:
“May your body nourish this earth.
May your soul find release and contentment.
May you fly high and free upon wings of spirit.
Rest in peace little green one.”
The love and tender warmth of you is a un-full-fill-able void.
I do so much thank-you for creating a space for another, a special place next to yours’.
In remembrance of Cleo, (Estimated) Spring 1959 - May 2003

Dear Biwibird
May this writing find a comfort for your heart. The special relationship with a Parrot is sadly not understood by those that never experienced such a loving companion. Know that this group does and many of us have experienced your heartbreak.
