I hafta make a post for Bart, as Ive made one for the rest.
Bart was my GCC. My first parrot. I got Bart when I was 21 and he was my best buddy. My introduction to the amazing world of conures. He was my side kick and loved to be with me... he even loved car rides on my shoulder ( windows up of course). He was my silly lil guy.
Bart loved everyone, even people who dont like animals, he would fall asleep in their hands and melt their hearts. Bart changed my fiancee's, Mark, mind on birds, too. Now Mark has a Sun who he loves to death.
I could go on and on about how great Bart was and how much I loved and still do love him. He was there for me, when no one else was.
It'll be two years 9/24 he passed away and I have tears rolling down my face as I type.
Some days are rough and I still miss him very much. He was with me for 6 years but he taught me about much love, loyalty, companionship and patience. Bart ingested something that gave him stomach ulcers. I took Bart to the vet, as I was leaving, I put my hand in the incubator to gives him pets. He snuggled down in to my hand and began to have a seizure. The vet pushed me out of the way and gave him CPR. With difficulty I left him there for treatment. An hour later, as I was pulling in to my yard, the vet called to tell me he had passed. I parked and fell out of my truck crying hysterically. I'll forever feel guilty because I feel I could have prevented it and prevented Bart's suffering. I know when the 2nd anniversary comes up, it'll be a difficult day.
Because of Bart, other parrots have homes and a flock.
A side note I'd like to add...because its kind of... interesting.
The address of Bart's vet is 1785. When we were looking for a Sun Conure, we found a breeder in PA who had baby Suns. One sun conure's band # was 1785. We went to visit and fell in love with #1785...aka Muninn, Mark's best buddy.
The numerology...the combination of those four numbers...what are the odds?
