Goodbye Max, I'm sorry you couldn't stay longer

[Marianne Marlow]

Unfortunately Max passed away just over an hour ago,

Much as I and the vet tried to get him better, it just was not to be.

As I told ffiscool earlier - I noticed him acting oddly. So I tried to feed him millet and he would not take any. He even let me preen his head feathers, which was not like him.

I locked him in a cage and tried to get him to take water with guardian angel and he would not have that either. He jumped to the bottom and could not get up again.

He started flapping and I picked him up, he made some strained squawks and passed away.

ffiscool brought her beloved Max here in January 2022 as she couldn't look after him due to him affecting her health.

We have loved having Max here, he was a very interactive member of the flock. We're very sad he couldn't be here longer. Unfortunately, we never know how much time we will get with our feathery friends.

I hope Max has met up with Bertie as they were best of friends. Perhaps he's met with ffiscool's Bailey too.

Farewell little guy, I'm sorry x

We'll miss you always. Until we meet again.

Such a pretty boy, so playful always.  He even mastered playing tag with my hand lol

never wanted to go to bed. 

he had the best time with you Marianne Marlow and his new pals. You did everything you could for him 

taken far too young and I do hope he is with Bertie and Bailey 

Budgies - such small little things with huge personalities that never fail to endear 

night night Max - fly high

you'll be so sorely missed

I am so sorry to read this. He will be greatly missed. Do you know what was wrong?

Fly high beautiful Max & spread your bright light over rainbow bridge.

I'm so sorry, Marianne. I'm heartbroken that Max has left you. He was so sweet. I hope he has gone on to be with his friends now, both old and new.

Farewell lovely Max.

I am so Sorry, Marianne Marlow and ffiscool. Max was such a pretty budgie and I always enjoyed reading about him. Gone too soon, too quickly!

I'm so sorry for your loss, both of you. He was such a bright spark and left far too soon.

I’m so sorry to be reading this Marianne and Fran. Max was indeed a little sweetheart.
Fly high Max, I’m sure your with all our buds that are already over the Rainbow Bridge enjoying fields of millet, you will be missed 😘

I am so sorry Marianne Marlow/ffiscool.

Max was such a beautiful little boy, I remember when ffiscool first brought him home and he settled in, he was such a fun loving little guy.

Then to go to a second loving home and have so many friends, he was a lucky boy indeed.

Fly high little Max 💙

This is such sad news. I'm so sorry Marianne Marlow and ffiscool.

Max was brilliant. Such a happy, busy, playful budgie. It's such a shame that he didn't have more time. I'll miss him.

You did your very best for him Marianne, not giving up on him when the vet was prepared to. You gave him a few more good months which he wouldn't have had with a less experience or less caring owner.

[Loz]

I am sorry, ffiscool. You are feeling the loss as Max's previous mum and I want to express my condolences to you, too.

I am so sorry Marianne Marlow and ffiscool.

He had not one but two loving owners as well as his new friends when he moved.

Gone too soon.

aw thank you. He was a great boy, so young sadly but he was a happy boy with all his pals and Marianne Marlow

[ffiscool]

I’d kept this

It's a heartbreak when they leave us 😢

Thank you everyone for your kind words.

As usual it'll take a long while to stop being so sad.
