Charlie fought so hard and we fought with him to get him well again-he hadn't been well for 2 weeks and this morning my husband found that he had passed away during the night. We saw the old Charlie before we said goodnight, he came and sat on his front perch like he used to, getting excited at us talking to him but I knew his breathing wasn't good. We weighed him and he had even put a gram on in weight, I felt like he had turned a corner but of course we all know how they hide it. Poor Charlie was also moulting and one of his tail feathers had almost dropped off-it would have been nice to have added it to the jar with his first moult feathers in.
Charlie looked so peaceful, he was sitting on the floor of his cage, like he was pecking for seeds and he must have drifted away as his breathing slowly stopped.
The house feels empty with out you Charlie, we will miss the acrobats you did through your rings and the way you climbed high up to bite the chain links on your toys. I'm so sorry your life wasn't longer-you would have been one next month, it's not fair that your life was so short,
RIP Charlie boy, we will never forget the short time we had with you xxxx

I'm so sorry for your loss. I know how you feel, and I think about my little past prince Pierre a lot. It's strange that sometimes the smallest things take up the most space in your heart.

I am SO sorry... it is so hard when they lose their battles and especially at such a young age. The fact he looked like he was sitting, means he would have gone quickly and peacefully, I am sure.
RIP Charlie, fly high

That is so very sad to hear. I think it is harder to bear when they are so young too. I am very sorry. He tried very hard to stay & you also did your best to help, but he did what he came to do, to love you & for you to love him. Now I have no doubt that he is flying around the fields of millet & telling everyone he meets what a wonderful earth family he had.

So sorry for your loss charliebird23. We miss these little birds so much when they pass. You gave Charlie the best life ever, despite it being so short. RIP beautiful little boy.

I'm so sorry that you lost Charlie, this has brought a tear or two to my eye.
You did all you could for him and he knew how much you cared for him.
It's so very hard to lose a beloved pet.
He's up there in budgie heaven flying free with all his new friends. My 10 past birds will be waiting for him I am sure.

I'm so sorry to hear about Charlie. I was thinking about him today and hoping for a miracle. It's always hard when we lose our little friends, especially when they are young, as I found earlier this year.

Thank you everyone for your lovely messages-they all made me cry. The house has felt very empty without Charlie, like a hole has been left. We buried him under a tree in the garden with his favorite bell and a colourful bead because he loved the beads on his swing, its so hard to say goodbye to a little animal that's so young but he hadn't really chirped for a long time so I suspect there was something going on for a while, we just thought he was a quiet bird. We have lots of photos and even some videos of Charlie so he will never be forgotten.
I think we will put his cage and toys up the loft until I feel ready (If ever) to have another little budgie friend.

It is hard to say goodbye charliebird23, but Charlie was lucky to have been so loved and you'll carry him in your heart and thoughts for all time.

I have only had my 2 budgies for a month, and i would be devastated if something happened, so i can only imagine how hard that would be.
condolences from a newbie bird lover
