    I'm getting a new addition Sunday! Cockatiel! Pics! Updated 7/17

    As some of you know, Milton passed away last week. I was very sad and couldn't stop crying. Milton's cage mate, Bessie, has been upset too. I and the woman that adopted Bessie to me have been talking. She has, what she thinks is a good match for Bessie. She knows me and that I am a very responsible pet owner so she is giving me the new guy! She knows that I am still paying off Milton's very high, but totally worth it, vet bills. In return I am tiel sitting for a male Lutino Pearl while she is in Florida for the week. Bessie's new buddy is a male (pretty sure) 9 month old Pied tiel. I'm so excited because I've never had a Pied. I feel guilty because Milton has been gone only a week, but I really think it's the best thing for Bessie.

    Here is the new guy! I haven't met him yet, but he sounds perfect for Bess.
    Ps. the little girl tiel in the back is what the foster mom calls handicapped. She had some defects, poor thing, and she isn't available for adoption. I saw her when I got Bessie in December and she gets around pretty well.

    Thanks everyone. He IS a cutie

    I wanted to add for those of you that don't know what happened to Milton. Milton had an enlarged liver and kidney failure. I adopted him 2 years ago from the Humane Society and I had no idea how old he was. The vet thinks he was old. He didn't die of an air borne illness so Bessie or any new bird aren't in any danger. Just thought I'd add that because I re-read what I wrote and it seemed a little irresponsible.

    He's gorgous! I love pied tiels. I'm sure Bessie and him will become good friends.

    I'm very sorry about Milton.

    He is gorgeous! Absolutely beautiful. I'm sure Bessie will love having another tiel as company, it might help the healing process for you, too.

    I think we all know you well enough to know that in no way are you irresponsible, Diana. We all grieve for Milton. I dread the day that I lose one of mine because unlike our dogs and cats, it might be that we just find a bird has lost its life and there is nothing that we could have done.

    I'm so happy that you are getting a new partner for Bessie.

    Oh Logan, I think I might name the new guy after you . I hope that doesn't sound too creepy . You are always so nice to me and I've always liked that name, plus it can be for a male or female. The foster mom is pretty sure he's a male, but if she's wrong then I don't have to change his name! It's not for sure yet, but the name Logan is the front runner right now . Plus he looks like Roger so it makes even more sense.

    That is so sweet, Diana. What an honor. Even if your chose to name him "Roger", it would be ok with me. Thank you.

    Just today, a friend on another board posted a picture of a feisty new kitten (gray, with blue eyes), who she has named "Logan", after me. Wasn't that sweet? I told her that based on the attitude she described, maybe that kitty would have been better off being named "Butter" instead! LOL!!!
