Thank you Ruth. Birds love their mirrors don't they? Jasmine has one too. She is my remaining bird- the blue one.
Thank you!
My family always had keets and canaries while I was growing up. We also had dogs and cats. Somehow we managed to keep the birdies safe. I don't remember but I imagine the birdies were never out of their habitat. I would love to have birds again. They are such happy spirit!

Missed so much.
Ruthanne, Alison and Danny are resting peacefully now. I know you loved them and miss them very much. You brought joy and sincere love into their lives when you made them part of your family, for that you can feel good and at peace. They knew you truly loved them, and I think they're still feeling it now. Hugs, my friend....I know how you feel when you think of them. 
Thank you. It's so sad that they're not here today. A lot of people don't understand how important our babies are to us. But I won't worry about them.Ruthanne, Alison and Danny are resting peacefully now. I know you loved them and miss them very much.

We are only given so much time with them
They are very important to us, present and past. There are times during the year that my heart hangs heavy thinking about one of my kids who has passed on over the years. We never stop loving them and we always have a special place in our hearts for them, no matter how many years have gone by. Would be nice to have just one more day with them, but perhaps only in a dream.Thank you. It's so sad that they're not here today. A lot of people don't understand how important our babies are to us.

In this diary thread one of these days I'm going to write about all of my past pet family. There have been many pets over my lifetime even though I don't have photos of them all. I've had a lot of different kinds of pets, too.
Suzy has always been such a real blessing to me. When I got her she needed me and I've grown to know just how much I needed her. I was suffering badly from depression, and still do at times, but it is not always as bad as it used to be with having her as my constant companion, shadow, greeter when I wake up.
I wake up not wanting to get up most days and she paws the side of my bed after she knows I've really had enough sleep. I then arise to her wagging her tail happily at me because she missed me while I was sleeping. She is the most loving being I know! I walk around here so crabby at times just muttering to myself, go through all kinds of moods because of my illnesses and even a physical illness I found out causes mental health symptoms to prevail. She is always here by my side or near me. She loves me even when I can't stand myself for being so very moody.
Here she is yesterday after having her evening meal. She is and has always been such a happy little girl!

I think pets are the best healers in the world. Their unconditional love is amazing and makes a person feel so needed...something I need more and more of the older I get. Losing a loving pet is equally as hard as losing a human loved one, but to me, the pain of losing either, is the price we pay for all of the love we gave each other when they were living...and that was worth the sad cost. Your pets are darling Ruthanne. How blessed they are to have you...and vice versa
Thank you, I lost Alice bird this past year so it's been hard. She was a real sweet birdie with a big heart.I think pets are the best healers in the world.

Well Alice has been gone now for 9 months and although I miss her it isn't nearly as painful as it was.
Jasmine has been keeping herself occupied flying and playing and dunking in her tub and peers at her little buddy in the mirror too. When I play Parakeet videos she sometimes sits on top of the tv:

@Ruthanne that is so sweet. My Kirby has no interest in the TV but is obsessed with watching me eat. He seems to be wondering what happens once the food goes in my mouth and then disappears.
Kirby is now 17. I got him when he was 2.
I've never had a bird that long and I know I will miss him so much when he goes to bird heaven.
He is on my shoulder most of the day, besides he is the last pet I will ever have.

He sounds like a great bird. I won't get any more birds after Jasmine either. She seems to be happy with Suzy and I as her family. She is very vocal and flying around here all the time. She is singing prettily right now. I put some water in her birdie bathtub awhile ago and she is checking it out again. She just sat in the water. Thank you for thinking of us Ruth.
