Pritti has passed. 33 years on Earth... Now over the Rainbow.

[Betrisher]

Kacee! I'm so sorry to hear of Pritti's passing! He certainly was a funny little character and I know how deeply you loved him. I'm glad you were with him at the end: all he had to do was go to sleep and rest in his Mum's hands. I know the heartache is so painful now, but be glad you and Pritti got to share a lifetime together.

Rest in Peace, little Pritti. You were a Good Bird!

With much love from Trish, Dominic, Barney, Madge and the Lovies. XX

I am so sorry to log in this morning and see this news of Pritti passing. I too felt that I almost knew him, and he was a favorite bird of mine on this forum. He will never be forgotten.


I have no words that can comfort you right now, sadly, but I am so sorry for your loss of this special bird. Happy that you got to be with him at the end and that you two had each other's love for all those years.


Fly free Pritti.

Dear Friends,
Thank you all so much for your support and kind words. So many people have shared their sad news here when they have suffered a loss like this. It's because they know, as I know, that only a parront knows what the relationships means and the bond that grows between a parrot and a parront. It means a great deal to me to hear your sweet words about Pritti. Yes, he was an incredible special gift from the universe to me and my family. I know that you all feel the same way about your fids. Love them and keep making them happy for all they give us.

Kacee

Wannabe, so sorry. Was 33 a long time for her breed? Also, was it unexpected or something that you had a feeling was coming?

33 years is a long, full life for a conure. And he knew he was loved.

What more could any living thing ask for from life?!

Sorry for your loss.

Goaler, It was very sudden and completely unexpected. I was right there when it happened so it was a crisis that started and ended sadly in a matter of 10 minutes. Tremendous shock.

33 is a nice span for a cherry-headed conure that his been a companion bird vs. out in the wild. In fact, a-vets have disucssed with me that it is a rarity to see a CHC past their early 20's. I was sure I would be with him for another 5, hopefully 10 years. Various sites have CHC's listed as having a potential lifespan of 25 years, 35 years, and even 50 years. So it's hard to say which is correct.

Kacee, I just read this sad post, I am so deeply sorry for your loss of Pritti. Thirty three years is a long life and to spend it with one human family is phenomenal. It's never easy to say goodby to the special creatures we share our lives with. No matter how long we get to keep them, it's never long enough. I am so glad you were there to comfort Pritti and tell him once more how special he was. My thoughts are with you, your family, and all Pritti's many friends.

Fly free Little One, you will be remembered.

Hi J.
Thanks so much for checking in. It is getting easier to hold back the tears. Hearing from you and other members here that understand and seem to find the right words of support is a comfort. It's so hard to break away from my natural impulse to have our good morning greetings, to get his little dishes of fresh snacks and treats ready throughout the day. I miss how our little zany ritual at daily paper change and clean-up time. So cute how he would stand up top and watch and sometimes chase after the newspapers. Even though he had seen it happen many thousands of times, it was always like a play date for Pritti. Such fun.

 

[BoomBoom]

I totally understand. Cry often, its perfectly natural. Drop by the forum frequently, you have a lot of people who care about you here.

Awwwww. Im so sorry for your loss. It breaks my heart to hear storys like this. All i can say is Thank you for giving him a wonderful life. I'm sure wherever he is he's grateful for a wonderful companion like yourself.

 

[EnglishMuffin]

WBAP I've never spoken to you before on here but I'm sorry for the pain you're going through for losing your friend. But what a beautiful, joyous thing for a fid of 33 to have known only one family. That is a testament to what wonderful parronts you were and how well loved he was. He never knew the pain of rejection or the stress of being passed around as most of our feathered babies do. He lived his long life loved and well cared for.

I just saw Pritti's photo on the POTM page. I'm so sorry you've lost him. I can't read this thread to find out what happened, I get too upset, but I'm very sorry such a beautiful bird is gone.

Kacee, you've been in my thoughts all week. I hope that you're doing okay.

Kacee, you've been in my thoughts all week. I hope that you're doing okay.

Thanks so much for your thoughts. It's been tough but I am not paralyzed with constant sadness as I was for the first few days. I can function better now. Most difficult time is in the evening when I would settle down with Pritti and give him scritches and he would usually fall asleep on me. And after a while, I would bring him to his sleeping perch and fuzzy buddy for the night. I also miss "good morning" kisses and hellos sooooooo much. I keep reminding myself of what our vet said -- "It was his time and he had a great long life."

I am very sorry for your loss. It sounds like Pritti lived a life filled with so much love and happiness. Time will help to heal, but can't take away that empty spot in your heart for him. Maybe one day you can give another birdie a little spot in your heart, the same way you did with Pritti.

Maybe one day you can give another birdie a little spot in your heart, the same way you did with Pritti.

Mimi,
Thank you for your kind words. I surely will be sharing my home with another parrot that needs a forever home. I will wait a month or two. When the time feels right, I will adopt a bird from a Rescue or perhaps from a home where s/he can or should no longer stay. My beautiful Pritti taught me soooooo many things, and I want to share his teachings with another birdy.
