Goodbye Doris

[Nicky76]

Our poor little buttercup kakariki died this morning. She'd been quiet for a few days but went downhill yesterday She passed away over night.

My husband had a good look at her yesterday in case she was egg bound and found an abdominal mass (probably a tumour)

So now Chilli is left on his own He seems ok today.

Doris was the second buttercup kakariki we've had and they seem to be highly overbred (they're a mutation). Unfortunately Kakarikis are easy to breed and so it seems lots of people do so but not always in a responsible way. I'm sure this leads to weakness and in breeding issues.

We'll miss her cheeky little face

Oh, Nicky.
I'll have a quick cry as I just wish you and your flock well. I feel close to you and yours because of our Patagonian connection, and I treasure our long-distance friendship. Of course, she'll always be perching-love in your heart, just like that Emily Dickinson poem.

I'm very sorry for your loss. I know Doris will be missed by her entire family, including poor Chili.

Thank you everyone. It was the worst way to start the day, crying whilst trying not to upset the rest of the "zoo"

I'm just glad it was quick and she didn't suffer.

Gail - I love our Patagonian connection and our long distance friendship is very special x
