Five years ago on this day, I lost one of the birds from my very first pair of budgies. I can't believe it's already been half a decade. He was a very special friend and he's definitely the reason why I love budgies.

I met Valentine when I was 11 years old. My mom had taken my siblings and I to the pet store on Valentine's Day to buy us a pair of budgies for our gift. I really didn't think I'd get too attached to them, but as I think about Valentine now, I couldn't have been more wrong.

I remember the first day I brought Valentine and Cupid home. I had never owned birds before so I was really nervous. I even dropped Valentine's box before I could place him into the cage. :s

Apparently he didn't hold it against me though, because he was always very friendly towards me. He would always come sit on my hand and let me pet him. I loved him a lot, and I think even if I own 100 more budgies in my lifetime, I'll always miss my first mischievous, little bird.

Valentine, wherever you are, I hope you're with Misty, who just passed away this week. I'll always love you and you'll always be my little Valentine. ♥

He may have passed on but will never be dead while you have your special memories to keep him alive

Katie, your love for your birds is obviously very strong. It is very hard to lose one of our precious feathered friends, but while you have memories to share their legacy lives on.

To Valentine and Misty. May they be together in budgie heaven.

We are not Vets, Avian or otherwise. If you have any serious doubts about your budgies' health an appointment with an Avian vet should always be your first point of call.

Valentine met Misty at the Pearly Gates and is showing her around Budgie Heaven. They are singing away, remembering the good times they shared with you, Katie. I hope they have met my little friends, Robbie, Brodie and Willow.
