Three of my cockatiels passed away suddenly:(

:( I'm so sorry.. That is so tragic...I know you're hurting a lot right now, and must be devastated...I am sad here, myself. I will pray for you and your family...I'm really sorry. :(

Diana, I can hardly come up with words right now. This is unimaginable, unbearable :( :(. My heart is completely broken for you Diana, and your babies, dear little Alex... :(. I know how deeply bonded you were to your little girl. This is almost beyond comprehension, you must be in such shock and grief. Wrapping my arms around you in my heart Diana, across the miles. I am so very, very sorry.

Alex, Danny, Evie, you will be missed sweethearts. Fly joyfully at the bridge, sweet birdies. :(

I am so sorry, I cant even imagin what you are going through. My prayers are with you and you birdy :(

I really can't even begin to imagin how awful this is for you. I am so sorry that your three babies had to be taken away from you. This is so tragic. :(

My prayers are with Milton. I hope he continues to stay healthy.

I am so sorry.
Having 5 birds myself, I just cant imagine the saddness you are feeling.
My heart truly breaks for you.
And poor Milton, I am so so sorry.
RIP sweet little ones :( :( :(
Sending lots of hugs your way...

What a tragidy. I am so very sorry. I can't image the pain you must be feeling right now. I wish I could make it all go away for you.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your 3 babies. :(

I can't even begin to imagine your pain. :(:( I don't know what to say. May God bring you comfort, and help you get through this difficult time. So sorry to hear about your loss. Rest in peace, sweet tiels. :(

I knew from other threads, that something had happened...I wasn't ready to read about it. :( My apologies for being selfish that way, but, I had a feeling this would really get to me, and, it did. I'm so sorry that you lost your birds. :( Poor Milton.

Thank you everyone. It still hurts so much and I talk to Alex, Danny, and Evie every night before bed. I know they can hear me. Your words and concerns really mean a lot to me.

Milton is doing ok. He's eating well and I'm cooking for him twice a day. He's getting a lot of attention. He is now making strange noises that he never made before. Some sound sad and some sound like he's trying to find another mate. I expected this. Going from 4 birds to 1 so suddenly has given me the chance to bond a little more with Milton. I guess that's the only silver lining here. Milton is not hand raised or tame at all because he came from a shelter. Last night I got him to eat some millet while I sat next to him on the bed. Sounds small, but for him it was pretty big. I'm already looking for someone for him. At first it was just asking breeders questions, then one breeder said she had a perfect match for him. It seems too soon, but if you saw Milton you'd know he needs someone. To be honest, I'd be happy with just him. The "perfect" pal for Milton is Bessie. She is a young newly hand tamed (not hand raised) Lutino. She was a rescue similar to Milton. The breeder said she doesn't even advertise that Bessie is available because she was waiting to find the perfect fit for her. I'm planning on visiting her soon (within a week or two). The breeder said Bessie is acting like Milton, sad and looking for a mate. They will have to be quarantined from each other for a month, but they will still be able to head each other from across the house. I hope this makes Milton happy. He's breaking my heart.

Oh, wow...I hope Bessie and Milton can do eachother some good. The names fit already, though...what a sad story. But, maybe the next chapter will be sweeter.

Diana, I am just seeing this now. I am so sorry for your loss. :(

I hope the new companion will work out for Milton. I can't imagine Roger or Milly being without each other.

Oh Diana:( I can only imagine the incredible shock and numbness you must have expereinced, losing your three precious babies so tragically, so suddenly:( My heart breaks for you and dear Milton. Hopefully a new feathered freind will help to help your hearts. I too believe that your beloved babies are hearing you speak to them, being comforted by your loving words. Much love and my heartfelt sympathies to you and to Milton, Diana...

Love,
Sandra
