Hector came to us on 1st January 2011 (with Custard1). He was a beautiful cobalt blue bird, at that time not human friendly. Eventually he had friendships with Blueboy, Abbie and Blithe. But his longest lasting friendship was with us. When I was in hospital in 2013 or 2014, my husband struck up a friendship with Hector. From that moment on, Hector would fly over to us. Hector would sit with me and play with my thumb. Quite often I had to eat dinner one handed and with a spoon, it’s just not possible to use a knife and fork with a bird on your left hand. I’m so sad that Hector has passed away, at the age of 10 years and 9 months. We loved having him stay with us, he was a wonderful friend. I sat with him all day yesterday offering him water and food. I think he knew that his time had come and would only take an occasional sip of water. Fly high my fabulous friend. Until we meet again.

I am so sorry that Hector has gone. He was a special little guy, wasn't he? And having him for over ten years is a lot of memories to reflect on. Fly high Hector, & have fun over at Rainbow Bridge.

He was indeed a handsome boy, thank you for sharing those beautiful pictures.
We put ourselves through so much heartache with these little ones, but, they bring us so much joy.
Thinking of you and your OH Marianne xxx

I am so sorry for your loss, Marianne. Hector was a true favourite of mine, as I know he was for a lot of people, but my memories of Hector go right back to when I had joined the "other" forum, and was asked to judge the "Pretty Bird" photo comp. You had a very sweet photo of a young Hector sitting pretty, with his head turned slightly towards the camera, looking very coy. I couldn't help but crown him the winner. Rest in peace, beautiful boy. xxx
