Allee, I am so sorry to hear about little Zeke Beak.
She was an adorable little Quaker and she could not have found a more loving family to join. I am in tears here sitting reading this wonderful tribute to Zeke and I feel so heartbroken for you and your family.
Fly free little Zeke. You will forever be in the hearts of those that loved you and that you touched in the time you had on this earth.
Many hugs and thoughts for you Allee and the family.

Ah, Huckleberry. I'm just seeing this. I am so very sorry for your loss. I know how deeply you loved sweet Zeke, as you love all of the birds blessed enough to have become a part of your flock.
I hadn't heard before how Zeke came to be in your life. How she must have loved you for rescuing her from her former situation and showing her the kind of life she'd always deserved. A life filled with happiness and warmth. A life filled with love.
Your tribute to her in the opening post is worthy of the wonderful bird she was, the place she claimed in your heart over the past two years, and the places she's claimed in the hearts of all of us who have come to care for her while reading all of your wonderful stories. I feel as though I knew Zeke... and count myself fortunate for that fact. Thank you for sharing her beautiful spirit with all of us.
Fly free, sweet Zeke. You have quite a few feathered friends from the forum who have prepared the way and are waiting to welcome you at the bridge.
Allee, I am also just seeing this. Tears are streaming down my face after reading your beautiful tribute to Zeke. I am so glad you were there for her, loving her and easing her passing by your presence.
Zeke had a more beautiful, beloved life in the 2 years you had her than so many birds do in 30 years.
Fly free, Beautiful Zeke, you will be missed by everyone was was fortunate enough to have known you, even just through shared stories.

Allee, I'm so sorry. I feel as though I've lost a friend. You gave Zeke a good home and lots of love, and I know she had a happy life with you. It's very hard to lose a much-loved parrot. In time, you'll find comfort in your memories of Zeke.

Oh Gary, thank you. You have been a very dear friend to me and to Zeke. You were there with helpful advice from my very first post about Zeke. Your kindness means a lot to me.
I consider Ralph a good friend too, please give him a warm hello and a skritch from his buddies in Texas.
Oh my goodness, I just saw this right now. I am so, so terribly sorry that Zeke left the world so soon. It's incredible how such a small creature can take up such a huge part of our hearts and our lives, and how easy it is to let them do so. I am crying for you and your flock... it breaks my heart to see such a wonderfully enchanting bird fly over the rainbow bridge and leave the world a little darker without her presence.
All of my love and thoughts go to you and your flock, Allee.

Chantal, thank you so much for your heartfelt, beautifully worded message. Zeke was enchanting and you are so right about the space they take up in our hearts. The world is a much darker place right now but she left us with so many bright memories.
Allee I know we have talked but I also wanted to say here how touched I was by your beautiful tribute to Zeke.
She was such a lovely feathered soul and I know she has given you lots of wonderful memories to hold dear but I also think about and am touched by how grateful and happy Zeke must have felt in her time with you. After all her years of neglect and indifference to find love and good food and the feeling of being cherished must have been heaven on Earth.
Thank you Allee for being such a wonderful parront. Try not to see the darkness my dear friend, the lovely bright light of Zeke will be over your shoulder always. Hugs to you and scritches to your flock.
