I'm sad to report that Basil has died after quite a long illness, I found him at the bottom of his cage this morning He had a very big fatty lump on his belly and possibly also testicular cancer as his cere had gone from a bright blue, to dark brown (not crusty, just almost black) and then light blue like a hens. Basil came to us with George in 2013. He was always quite a timid bird compared to the others, but made a great friend in Roswell. When Roswell passed away in 2016, Basil became quite sad, he was his best friend. Basil did have a friendship with Lemon and also spent some time with Hector. Basil was approximately 7 years old and had been with us for 6. Fly high Basil, I like to think that you have been reunited with your beloved Roswell. xx Picture, Basil on left, Roswell on right

I am so sorry that Basil has gone. He sounds like a sensitive soul. I have no doubt that he has reunited with his beloved Roswell. Yet another bright star is Rainbow Bridge's gain. Fly high handsome boy.

So sorry Marianne. Basil couldn't have spent his last years in a better place than with you and your gang. He was one very lucky budgie and you gave him a wonderful life. Fly high little one.

I’m so sorry that you've lost Basil.
After reading about him and seeing the various photos since you had him, it looks like he enjoyed his time with you and the gang.

I'm so sorry Marianne . Little Basil had a wonderful life with you and the gang. I love the thought of them all meeting up in fields of grasses, flowers and millet and having a ball We certainly have times like this on the forum, nothing for ages then a run of loosing our little souls

Marianne, I am so sorry that you have lost little Basil, although I can barely believe that it was six years since he and George came to you.
Rest in peace, beautiful Basil. I'm sure Roswell will welcome you with open wings. xxx
