Rest in peace, Pineapple.

I'm sad to say that Pineapple, my beloved cockatiel, has passed on.

I took him to the vet as fast as I could, and it was already too late. He wen downhill way too quickly. He started off by losing his voice, then came laboured breathing, then he was so bad off that he was diagnosed with Pneumonia. He was with us for two days after administering the prescripted antibiotics, then died when we were giving him his last dose for the day. Fortunately, Sunshine is oblivious to what really happened, but is still aware that Pineapple has not been here in a while and now he's very confused. At least, his pain and suffering is gone.

I hugged him close, and tearfully said goodbye.

You are my baby and always will be,​

My love for you has no end, I hope you can see.​

I hoped for better, but better was not here.​

You are with God, may he hold you dear.​

​

Goodbye.​

OMG I am so sorry for your loss. losing Pineapple.
You have wonderful memories, always to be treasured.
You did what you could for Pineapple, thank god you were there, giving him much love and support when he most needed it. He is now flying free of pain.
Sunshine will need extra love and attention, not really understanding what has happened to Pineapple, not realizing that he will no longer be around.
Fly free Pineapple

More sad news here on the forum. PQ I am so sorry for this loss. We should all treasure the birds we have because they leave us way to fast.

Yeah...it hasn't been a good month to be a pet parrot, has it?

Poor Pineapple.

You did all you could, but I guess the angels needed to fill a position. Pineapple will be happily waiting for all of his family and friends someday.

Focus all your love on Sunshine for now. It will help both of you cope with the loss of a beloved friend.

Fly free Pineapple, fly free.

Oh PQ, not sweet Pineapple. Bartleby is sad now that her fellow tiel is gone. But at least he's not suffering anymore. I'm sending all love, prayers, and support to you and Sunshine. Here's a picture and poem (it's not mine and I changed the original wording to fit for birds) for Pineapple:

I Remember
I stood by your bed last night, I came to have a peep.
I could see that you were crying. You found it hard to sleep.

I chirped to you softly as you brushed away a tear,
"It's me, I haven't left you, I'm well, I'm fine, I'm here."
I was close to you at breakfast, I watched you pour the tea,
You were thinking of the many times your hands came up to me.
I was with you at the shops today. Your arms were getting sore.
I longed to keep you company, I wish I could do more.
I was with you at my grave today, You tend it with such care.
I want to re-assure you, that I'm not lying there.
I flew with you towards the house, as you fumbled for your key.
I gently put my self on you, I smiled and said "It's me."
You looked so very tired, and sank into a chair.
I tried so hard to let you know, that I was standing there.
It's possible for me to be so near you everyday.
To say to you with certainty, "I never went away."
You sat there very quietly, then smiled, I think you knew...
in the stillness of that evening, I was very close to you.
The day is over... I smile and watch you yawning
and say "Good-night, God bless, I'll see you in the morning."
And when the time is right for you to cross the brief divide,
I'll rush across to greet you and we'll stand, side by side.
I have so many things to show you, there is so much for you to see.
Be patient, live your journey out... then come home to be with me.


Take it easy, spend as much time as you can with Sunshine to ensure he deals with easily. Farewell Pineapple...​

RIP Pineapple. I'll bet he doesn't regret a moment of it.
Better to have a short, happy life than a long miserable one.

RIP Pineapple. PQ I am so sorry for your loss, words can't express how sad I am right now, maybe my Russell and Pineappple are swinging in a tree together in Rainbow Heaven.

So sorry for your loss PQ, truly.

You know we all understand.
