~Danny Boy~

Thank you all. We had a wake tonight; posts #15 and #17 show that. I appreciate you all so much. Little Danny Boy would've loved you all! Danny taught me a lesson in life; you can be happy and sing.
 

Dear Ruthanne, I am sorry to read of this tragedy, I have no words
of comfort, but the pain will ease with time, no consolation to the
loss of a good friend.

Mike.
 
Thank you Mike. The hardest part is that his mate is so upset she is not eating.
 

I'm no expert but I believe Allison is grieving. All animals do. Poor little girl. She's hurting. She misses him. My heart aches just thinking about it. At least you have each other, Ruthanne. Hopefully she'll start eating soon. Is there anything like a special treat you can offer her?

Warm and gentle hugs to all of you!
((((Allison, Ruthanne, Suzy))))

Yes, I know she is grieving. She has finally eaten some tonight. I don't have any special treats right now but will get some soon. I've been talking to Allison and telling her that she has me and Suzy and we love her. She is such a nice birdie. Thank you.
 
Ruthanne, maybe when your heart heals you can surprise Allison with another little friend to keep her company. I think it would be good for her and you both. :love_heart:

This is an excellent idea.Though no one will replace Danny, Allison may be yearning for some company. It's hard to be a pet guardian at times like this.

She is doing better today; listening to music and flying around.

Allison and I have been playing little peek a boo games (you'd have to see us to know what I mean!). She is getting more adjusted now and eating more. I am so glad. She is flying around and chirping and I chirp at her, too. We know what we mean!:) We are going to get to be real good buddies. Parakeets are social birds and will socialize with humans too and I have learned a lot about doing that. I didn't do it as much before because Danny Boy and Allison had each other and I thought they thought the heck with me. LOL. That's okay. Me and Allie are going to be great buddies!:)
 
Ruthanne, I found that to be true with my Kerby. I had one bird that I had purchased. He could even say a few words. Then I went to a garage sale and saw 3 others for sale living in horrible conditions. The water bowl smelled so terrible I almost vomited in the car getting them home. I kept them separated for awhile, just in case they were sick. Luckily they were healthy and fit right in with my original bird. I bought a huge cage for all of them. I had them all for quite a few years and then one by one they passed on. The one bird left,which you see in my posts, was the least friendly of them all. He wouldn't bid me the time of day. After the death of the last bird I decided to focus all my attention on him. After about 3 months he has become the most affectionate of all that I ever had. He sits on my shoulder all day long and loves nothing better than to get his head scratched like a dog or cat while I watch TV. He has a nightly snack of American cheese with a bit of white bread. Cheddar, Swiss or Rye bread is not tolerated and he lets me know it with a few pecks. Maybe you will find this happening with Allison as well. I hope you do. Amazing how a little bird can show their love and it is a good feeling.
 
Ruth n Jersey, cockatiels are such friendly and brave little birds. I take care of a few of them when a friend of mine goes away. If I'm sitting on the couch they'll waddle over to my shoes and try to untie them. If I'm at the table having breakfast they'll land on the table, hop over to my sandwich and grab a piece of bagel while it's in my mouth! Such friendly, happy, and funny little birds. My friend doesn't want me to just change their cage and feed and water them. She knows they need to socialize. It always breaks my heart when I see birds, a being that's meant to fly, locked up in jail. Oh, did I say jail? I mean a cage. Thank you for liberating those birds from those disgusting conditions at that garage sale.

Thank you for sharing your story with us.

Love and hugs going out to Ruthanne and Allison and Suzy too.
