    RIP Goofy, 2005-2011

    My budgie, Goofy, passed away at the veterinarian's this morning. She was being treated for being egg-bound, and had spent the previous night at the hospital. Despite all efforts, she was unable to pass the egg, and passed this morning.

    These are some of the first pictures that I ever took of her, and I'd like to share them with you:







    And this is the last picture I have of her and her late cagemate, Squawky:

    She is beautiful. It's very hard to lose a bird, and you have my sympathy and empathy. I lost a few cockatiel hens due to egg-laying problems. I took comfort in knowing I gave them a very good life, and I hope you do the same.

    Thank you. It's been tough on me, but even tougher on her mate.

    He's been alternating between sitting quietly and calling for her, and I'm not sure which is the more heartbreaking of the two to witness.

    I'm sorry for your loss I've lost pets in the past but Rory's my first bird, and definitely the pet I've been the most attached to, I can't imagine how hard it must be to lose them. At least you have her mate, which may be comfort to you both in her passing.

    It is so hard to lose a loved bird, I am sorry for your loss. I hope Goofys mate will be OK soon, it is so hard on the ones left to understand why all the sudden they are alone.

    Big hugs to you.
    Fly Free Boomer, we will forever love you.

    Updating you San Francisco Escort on this - they've San Francisco Escorts made it easier to find me.

    All of the videos San Francisco Asian Escort are now on a scrolling toolbar at the top of the page - similar to the "Big Brother" ones, only slightly more cooler.

    If you have voted, San Francisco Asian Escorts thanks, but remember to forward this invite to everyone else you know.

    And I won't know who's won until voting's over - as we're all entered into a national chart afterwards.

    I am very sorry to read about your loss. The photo's are adorable of Goofy and Squaky. Just be patient with the cagemate. After I lost Piper, Woody her mate did suffer from depression. Eventually, he did come around.. I know how hard it is to lose a feathered friend.. Hang in there..

    I lost my 2 year old female budgie Zakie to egg binding despite having an avian vet operating on her to try and release the egg - she died overnight at the vets - so I know your pain. She looked adorable.
    I hope Squawky is doing okay though know its been a few months now.
    My 3 year old male cheeky cockatiel died two weeks ago - I've been devastated and think about him every day and miss him terribly - can't believe these little guys have such an emotional effect on us.
