Corky
was the start of love for cockatiels, she belonged to my
brother Dan who got her when she was only three weeks old. Dan was
blind and very sick and in the last few years he was getting
progressively worse but Corky seemed to bring a change for Dan.
I fell in love with her she had such cute actions and was very
loving. We have a blue front Conure who is not very friendly, so I
then decided I wanted a Cockatiel. In June I got a three week old
pied who became the baby of our house and my constant companion. On
the morning of October 16th, 1998 my baby cockatiel died and at 3:00 pm
my brother passed away. The next day my sister-in-law insisted I
get another bird, so my husband took me out to look at birds. That is
where I found Spirit and Gabriel they are brothers. My husband asked
which one I wanted, and I told him both of them or none because I
could not separate them. I knew how awful that feels and that I could
not do that to these babies. They were four weeks old and both went
home with us on that day. Gabriel is the name of the angel who
appeared to Saint Daniel at three different times and is said to be
the mystery angel who appeared to him on the 4th time, and Spirit is
my reminder that my Brother is always with me.
Sammy was my brother's bird and kept him entertained with all his cute
little antics. My brother got Danny for his daughter for her 21st
birthday and she named her after my brother. All five of these birds
are very special in all of our hearts and have helped deal with our
loss. From Corky, who never left my brother's side and was on his
shoulder when he died, to my babies who are my reminders of my
brother and how much I love him. The holidays were very hard to get
through but this picture did bring a smile to all of us. Dan would
have gotten a big kick out of it.
