Thanks all, as been said so many times, only other budgie/bird owners really understand.

I'm so sorry ffiscool and skysmum. My heart sank when I saw the title of this thread and I didn't want to open it. Like a lot of members, I always enjoyed reading about Bailey and looking at photos and videos of him, he always made me laugh. Thanks for posting some of them again. He was such a handsome chap and a wonderful character.

I’m surprised at just how badly this has got to me, after not having him for 5 years. I’m so glad I had him for some of his time and then was able to be part of the rest of his time through here/ skysmum and see him.

Oh I am so sad to read this skysmum and ffiscool. I have tears in my eyes as I write. Bailey was such a well loved character on this forum and he will be sadly missed by all. Bless his little cottons, fly high you handsome boy, love you so much.

He was 8 in May. Given his show type, and ailments, he did so well.

I just don't have words right now of how upset I am and therefore can't even begin to imagine how you you both must be feeling ffiscool skysmum He was a such a stalwart of the forum and we will all miss him. There's a huge part that has left us all But we all knew how well he was looked after and loved to reach the grand age that he did. RIP Bailey Bailey Lemon Squeezy xxx

I'm so sorry to hear this news. I imagined Bailey just always being there... in the background... keeping tabs on his mirrors. Let's hope there's plenty of mirrors over at Rainbow Bridge. Fly high little grey man.

When I first began popping onto the forum more regularly I soon became aware of Bailey as his name cropped up so much. I soon realised he had not just one loving home but two, and that he was a great character. What a blessed boy he was to have such a fulfilling life. There really aren’t words to express the pain and sorrow of the loss of our beloved budgie families, but I am thinking of you both ffiscool and skysmum. He’s brought many tears to you both and to others in the forum, but so many smiles and fond memories to be cherished forever. Fly high Bailey. I have loved hearing about your wonderful life. Go and eat millet to your heart’s content and have fun using your chat-up lines at Rainbow Bridge. x

I’m so very sorry ffiscool & skysmum. Bailey held a special place in my heart as he was just a month or so younger than Brodie & they seemed very similar in character , particularly with their love of toys. I always felt like they were kindred spirits & would have had a lot of fun together. When Brodie passed away I sort of felt a little bit like ‘Well, Bailey’s still around’ - it was always wonderful hearing what he was up to (&his fear of the scary girls always made me laugh!). Bailey certainly left his mark on those who never met him, he was a special soul alright & he will be missed. X

I am so, so sorry skysmum and Fran.
Our little feathered friends certainly do make their way into the deepest parts of our hearts, and that is where they will always stay.
Fly high over at Rainbow Bridge sweet Bailey, know how much you were loved by us all. Hugs to you both skysmum and Fran xx

I forgot they were so near in age.

I was going to say virtually the same. Was just looking at other pics of him
Anyone who has never had a budgie, would never get how characterful and individual they all are.
