Milton my cockatiel had to be put down today. You can read about his hospitalization here... Milton's thread (http://petoftheday.com/talk/showthread.php?t=108408)
I adopted Milton two years ago from the Dane county humane society in Madison Wisconsin. His cage mate at the shelter was picking on him and I was eager to take him home. I drove 3 hours to get him and 3 hours back. Milton was not hand tamed but I still feel we were bonded closely. He was named after Milton Wisconsin because my brother and I saw the sign on the way home. Milton was a special little guy. He was the only survivor last November when my other three tiels died suddenly. We still don't know why. After that I adopted Bessie to keep Milton company. He loved her and they would snuggle all day. Right now I am trying to keep Bessie company, but she knows he's gone and she needs time to grieve too.
Here is Milton from a couple of months ago. He is already missed and my house won't be the same without him. He was a very good boy.
RIP Milton. :(
