Vixen passed away...

[ChocolateChipCookiez]

It's been one day since Vixen died and I am still heartbroken. I've only had her for 2 months but I loved just as much as I loved Kookie. I'm certain she was sick ever since we got here as she used to always be fluffed up or sleeping. But it never crossed my mind that she could be sick. Then around 2 days ago, she was sitting on the cage floor and was always sleeping. She wasn't eating either. That night I took her out to try and feed her some baby parrot food and by then she couldn't even move. I tried to feed her with a spoon first but she wasn't swallowing any of the food so my brother fed her with a syringe. I kept her separated from Kookie since they lived together. By the next morning, she was dead.

She came from a place that didn't take care of their birds and I'm glad that she was able to live a better life here, even if it was for only 2 months.

She was a great bird and I'll miss her deeply.

My deepest condolences Naz on the loss of baby Vixen. I am so sorry, it must be so hard to have lost her when you thought you had a long and happy future ahead. Vixen may have only been in your hands for a short time, but she will be in your heart forever.

I'm so sorry! My heartfelt condolences to you. It seems to me when you find a special one, it doesn't matter if they're brand new, or have been with you for years. The pain from their loss is still the same. Many of us have been there, so we understand. The important thing is that she had you, she had a home, and she knew she was loved.

Give yourself time to morn the loss of Vixen.
It will take time, exactly four weeks ago today I lost my Quaker, "Pedro". He came into our lives late in life, and we were blessed to have him.
My wife mourned for several days, but for me it has been harder since he was my best friend and shipmate (Retired Navy). It has gotten easier, just take it day by day. I still have his cages, food, toys, etc... but they are in the garage.
If you have take pictures of Vixen. Get some developed, go to Michael's and get a picture collage. On Windows 10, I got it where the background does like a slideshow of the pictures of Pedro and us as a family. On my TV, I have ChromeCast linked GooglePhotos and doing the same thing. I even purchased one of those picture frames where you load onto a USB drive, it does a slideshow. Soon, I will take the USB to Sign Store, maybe they can do a couple of t-shirts... On Amazon they have pet Memorial's, not to much for our feathered friends; but I am sure there is somewhere.
I started to document things that Pedro did, words/phrases he said, and his travels across the United States. In addition to writing about him I am thinking of a scrapbook with pictures or an digital scrapbook. I don't have Office 365 or good photo/video editors, just working with what I got.
Hope this helps, and give yourself time.

Whether for a few days, months or years, the loss is deep and missing them has no limitation of the amount of time. Very sorry for your loss.

Thank you all for the kind words. I had a lot of pictures of her that I wanted to share here. I still have all of them uploaded to my drive so I don't lose them.

Again, thank you for the kind words.



Here are most of the pictures of Vix that I have:
