It's very hard to write this goodbye, as I never expected to be writing another so soon after saying goodbye to Man Meep. Pepper was my beautiful black cheeked zebra finch, and as soon as I saw her little face in the pet shop I knew she would be mine. I had her for about 15 months, which is much too short a time. She was far too young and it just makes it harder. It became apparent last night that she wasn't very well. I cradled her in my hand for a while and when it got later, I put her in a separate cage so I could monitor her but she wouldn't settle, so I reluctantly put her back in with the others. I'm so glad I did, because by the time I woke up this morning she was gone. It makes it a little easier to know she wasn't alone but I wish I could have been there with her. I didn't hear anything all night, so I think it was quick. I wanted to write this for her as I have done for Speckles and Man Meep in the past, and I know they'll be looking after her now. I love you so much Pepper, and we'll all miss you and we'll definitely never forget you. I don't want to let you go, but I know you have to go and it breaks my heart. The sun is shining onto the finch cage now and I'd like to think that it's your doing, Pepper. Goodbye, my beautiful little lady. Fly high and I'll see you again someday xxx

Thank you for your kind words, they do get into our hearts and every time I lose a bird it feels like I lose a little bit of my heart too. And it's so difficult for others to understand if they don't have birds, they think it's just a bird but they're so much more than that. So thank you again. The cage looks terribly empty without her, even though I still have 6 other finches I think the budgies know something is going on too, they're being unusually quiet.

Rest in Peace, sweet little Pepper. Take comfort that Pepper left this world knowing how much you loved her. Now she, Speckles and Man Meep are watching you and your flock, hoping that you will always smile when you think of them.

And it's so difficult for others to understand if they don't have birds, they think it's just a bird but they're so much more than that. They certainly are. They all have their individual personalities that are so special in their own unique way. Sorry to hear about Pepper. RIP little bird x

Every time I feel sad about it, I tell myself that she's an angel now. It helps, to know she is with Speckles and Man Meep and they are all sweet little angels together. My poor baby girl
