It's all singing and kisses and feeding each other here this morning. But then Barney stops and contact calls repeatedly for Finlay and my heart breaks a little more 😟.

Oh blueelephant it's so, so hard. My heart breaks for you. I couldn't stop thinking about Finlay last night, she was such a character. When we thought about rehoming a female recently someone asked how the flock might change if we introduced a hen and I said 'let me tell you about Finlay'. It's a comfort that the boys have each other but it's going to be so hard for all of you, especially at this time of year. Take care of yourself and spend lots of time together with your family and boys. Sending big hugs and thinking of you xx

I feel a fraction of the loss you must be feeling, BE, and it still hurts my heart. We know the heartache you are feeling right now. It gets better but it never goes away completely. Your boys will help you through and of course, you'll be there for your lovely boys.

I'm so so sorry, I know words do not help heal the pain. It's sad when budgies call for their departed friend. I'm glad to see your boys are getting on okay.

Thank you all for you kind words, it really helps that I know you all understand in a way most people don't. We buried her with a few of Barney's feathers, and are going to mark the spot with a bird bath we got in the summer. She did love a good wash, so it seems fitting. willowsmum Finlay would be delighted that she is being talked about! She was after all the centre of the universe and didn't everyone else know it.

I’m heartbroken for you and the boys blueelephant. It sounds like a perfect burial and how lovely to put a bird bath there. Finlay would definitely approve, I’m sure.

It is so heartbreaking to hear budgies call for a lost friend. You all miss her so much and I know how much it hurts. Budgies are so very special and they leave such a big space when they leave us.
