This is Fang and Jem. They're not besties, nor are they enemies, they're really not frenemies either. They're probably best described as "companions", "allies" even, in the ongoing war with Lovejoy the lorikeet, in a sort of "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" kinda way. Just goes to show that friendship comes in all shapes and sizes!

we don't always get along but sometimes we do.
Mart, thank you for this beautiful theme. I can't let a friends theme go by without posting my dear Phoe and his best friend, Jax. On Dec. 30, Phoe will have been gone from our sight for 6 years, but not from our hearts. Never from our hearts.
Jax called for Phoe constantly for a long time, and now it's only sometimes when he does it. He doesn't look for him anymore
Jax eventually moved into Phoe's cage full-time, and he sleeps right next to the spot where Phoe slept. He seems to have worked through most of his grief, and I'm so glad.
Jax is on the left, and Phoe on the right - my sweet little bald boy
One more set of friends I'd like to share. This is Kimera and Cally. We got them from a breeder who kept them in a barn, and they had been thrown together when both their mates died. The breeder told me that he thought Ki was 7, and that Cally was in her 50s or 60s. They loved each other, especially Ki loved Cally. When we would take Cally out without him to cut her nails, he would scream this bloodcurdling call, and throw himself against the sides of the cage until she was back.
Our sweet Cally died of what we are pretty sure was a heart attack on Dec. 17, 2016. She was perfectly fine when we changed the water, and on the bottom of the cage 20 minutes later when we brought down veggies. She was just gone
Ki was on the bottom with her, nudging her and screaming, this time with terror in his voice. It took years before he stopped looking for her.
Cally is on the left and Ki on the right

Thank you for sharing Jax and Phoe's story, Terry, I remember only too well how terribly hard Phoe's loss was for you, and this retelling of their story made me tear up all over again. Some happy tears for them though, and for Ki and Cally too, because they had each other's love and your boundless love as well. And they always will
