Goodbye my sweet Jay Jay

[ksmith5151]

I lost my sweet parakeet Jay Jay tonight. He was 11 or 12 years old and I've had him since he was a baby. About a month ago he showed signs of a tumor and lost function of one of his legs. Because he was still eating, drinking, chirping and flying happily I did my best to make him as comfortable as possible. Yesterday I noticed signs of him getting weaker and tonight as I was holding him on my chest to give him warmth, he fluttered his wings and passed quietly. I'd like to think it was then that he flew to heaven.

He was always such a tame sweet parakeet, always happy to sit on my finger and fly around the room. He was also so easy going and was quite spoiled. He was always out and only had to go into a cage at night. I will miss him so much and so will his buddy Tibbers who wanted to be near him in his final days.

I'm very sorry for the pain you're going through. What a beautiful boy Jay Jay was. It sounds like he passed in the sweetest way knowing your love for him. If EarlyBird passes before me I truly pray for the same way holding her close to me. Bless you.

Deepest condolences for your loss of beautiful Jay Jay. I'm so sorry, it sounds like you had a very deep enduring bond. I know how painful it must be, but I can't think of a sweeter way to spend the final moments, I'm so glad you were there to say goodby.

Fly Free Little One, you will be missed.

Very sorry you have lost Jay Jay. I recall your recent thread describing his health issues, you clearly gave him more quality time and so much love. There can be no doubt you shared the deepest of bonds; I hope in time the sweet memories replace your profound sadness.

My sincerest sympathy and empathy. You made that little guy's life great, and his passing peaceful. I can think of no deeper or more beautiful love, start to finish, and of course he's in your heart forever. Thank you for sharing. Thank you for giving me just one more reason to treasure every moment (including every mess, every squawk, every inconvenience) with my Rickeybird.
