We lost my darling budgie, Sawyer, last night.
In the morning everything was fine and normal throughout the day.
He ate his morning veggies, and was playing with his toys.
We went down in the evening to do the water change and chop, and Sawyer was on the bottom of the cage and unable to keep his balance.
I tried to reach my vet (they were closed & I left a message) and we moved him to a hospital cage and put him in the upstairs bathroom where we could keep him warmer. Within 10 minutes he was gone.
We have no idea how old he was, he came to us from a rescue almost 5 years ago and was an adult then. He did not like other birds...until Jax.
After Phoe died, Jax and Sawyer became friends, and though we never let them out at the same time to keep Sawyer safe, he and Jax fed & preened each other through the bars.
Jax is once again devastated.
My heart breaks for not only my loss, but for his. He keeps looking for Sawyer,, and his little body keeps shaking. He is calling out for Phoe again for the first time in awhile.
Please keep Jax in your thoughts, I can't imagine what he is going through.
Sawyer, you were loved by both your human and feathered flock, my Sweet Boy, and you are missed. I'm so glad we had the chance to know and love you.
