A couple of days ago Bertie was flying and he seemed a bit aimless, landing on the floor. I noticed one of his legs sort of gave way when he took off. But he got better and today he was fine, singing, flying about, playing with Max. But this evening he took off and flew into the door (not that hard though) and landed on the floor with a thud, it was more like he stopped flying mid air- hard to explain. I picked him up and he was very alert but limp. I'd seen this before when Jerry had a seizure. I put him in Penny's cage on a perch but after a few minutes he fell to the floor (it's padded). I knew what was coming, so I held him to my chest for about 15 minutes, stroking his little head and telling him we loved him and we were sorry. He made a few awful squeaks and died. It happened only 15 minutes ago and I have been crying. I was not expecting to lose him so soon he was less than 4 years old. Fly high little boy, we'll miss you.  |

Oh no, Marianne Marlow I’m so so sorry. It’s horrible. Poor Bertie, I’m glad it was quick and he had you comforting him, he would have gone peacefully. Losing our little friends is so hard. RIP handsome Bertie |

Oh Marianne Marlow I am so sorry! Poor little Bertie. It's hard when they are taken too soon. It sounds like a very upsetting thing to experience but I am sure Bertie took comfort from your presence and felt safe and loved. Fly high little one. X |

I’m so so sad to read this Marianne Marlow .  What a horrible shock but you were there for him and that’s exactly what he’d have wanted and as hard as it was, you ensured he was shown love, comfort and peace for him to leave. You must be heartbroken, as with any loss, but with such a thud and then recognising the signs from Jerry, it had to have been that awful feeling when your stomach plummets and you feel sick. Sending all my thoughts, love and comfort to you, Marianne. Sweet Bertie, you handsome boy, fly high and gobble lots of millet. I hope you’re reunited with the others who left before you. x |

Oh that's so sad. I'm so sorry. It's so difficult to lose one of our friends, especially when they are so young. Fly high beautiful Bertie.

I am so sorry, Marianne. Bertie was a lovely fellow, and far too young to have gone to God. A terrible thing for you to have to witness as well.
Goodbye, beautiful Bertie. You will be missed as much as you were loved.
