She fell from the airer about 15.30. I knew there was something wrong as she didn't scamper about as usual. I scooped her up and she laid in my hands for over an hour. She then came round and seemed fine. About 30 mins ago she was in the bottom of the cage with her wings spread and just laid there. I took her in my hands where she laid until she died.
Goodbye Edward.

I'm sure she was comforted at the end by you holding her OP. I hope the rest of your little family are OK once they realise she is gone. |

Oh no. This has made me cry. Poor Edward, poor you. So so sad. She had a lovely home/family with you. She knew she was loved and she would have known how much right until the end
RIP Edward.

OP, I am so sorry. This is so unexpected; I'm all choked up for you both.  It must have been a comfort for her to be looked after right to the end. Sweet little Edward, you will be missed, not only by your little flock, but far and wide across the world. Sleep tight little one, know you were much loved. xx |

Thank you everyone, thank you from Edward.
I have just been sat here drinking my coffee and reading the posts and realised how much noise Edward made. She would whistle and squawk and jump down to the bottom of the cage, even before I put the seed there. There is none of that now. Whiskers new there was something wrong whilst I was holding Ewdard as kept coming to me, more than normal.
R.I.P Edward.

Rest in Peace, Edward. xx
OP, Could you please reiterate Edward's story? It would be really nice for those who were not around when you took Edward into your home, to know her story from your point of view. It is all part of who she was.

I have just been looking back through some posts and my goodness there is a lot about Edward. So I will put a brief history on here of how she came to me. Then I will start a new thread which will be all about Edward and her life as far back as I can go.
Sorry, I was posting at the same time as you Hezz. I will put the thread there.
