I wanted to take this time to write about a very special budgie, at this time I am finding it very difficult to cope with my emotions so I would like to share my story with other budgie lovers.
On Tuesday 6/2/18 my gorgeous boy passed on to heaven, at around 7pm in the palm of my hand. I miss him so so much it is just unbearable. He was the best thing that ever happened to me. I got him as a 13th birthday present from my mum when he was about 2 months old and I had him for over 8 years. He was just perfect.
He was always so vibrant and full of life, he kept me entertained and comforted. He helped me through so many bad parts of life and I am thankful for that. He would sing away to his hearts content, especially if I was watching a video or speaking to someone on the phone! He wanted to be involved with everything I did, he was my best friend and my baby. Sometimes he would get over excited and scream, running up and down his perch. Either that or he would suddenly burst into flight, and then come crash landing once he had calmed down. He was always so fluffy around the head, I ended up calling him 'fluffy head' as a nickname.
On his last day, I gave him a wash as he could no longer do it himself. I gently cleaned him with a wet tissue, and I think he appreciated it. I offered him some food and managed to get him to eat a little bit which made me feel better. I did have him wrapped up in a flannel to keep him warm and comfy and then I could see he wanted a stretch, so I placed him on my bed and unwrapped him. He had a little stretch, and did one final flutter of his beautiful wings. I then put him in the palm of my hand and I could tell it was nearly time. I spoke to him, I told him I love you my baby you are safe with me, I will never forget you. Just before he drifted away, he tilted his head up and looked at me. We looked each other eye to eye, and then he took his last breath. It was the end. That was just amazing, that in his last moment he looked right at me. It was as if he said thank you mum for keeping your promise. That is something I will never forget, and will cherish for the rest of my life.
I miss the way he would fluff his head up when I kissed him, and I miss when I would outstretch my arm he would run from my hand up my arm as far as possible to get to my face again (for more kisses). I miss when he would bob his head at me or a toy. I miss when he would be grumpy and tired and peck me like an old man budgie. I miss his song. I miss his crash landing. I miss our duets together. I miss his smell. I miss absolutely everything about him, my blue baby. Rest in peace my little beauty, may you fly high and be at peace with all the other animals up there.
The promise I made to him when he became ill, was that I would be there for him until the very end.
