These sort of days always come far too fast. Barely two months after Whiskers left us, now goes Squeak. My beautiful little zebra finch. 
Squeak was just under 3 1/2 years old, far too young to be taken but such is life. She passed at some point during Saturday night and Sunday morning. I wish I could've been there to hold her whilst she took her last breaths but I'm glad she was with my other finches, who adored her. I've never seen such a popular and enigmatic finch, ha. They're going to miss you so much Squeak, and so am I.
I only found out earlier today so I don't really know what to say, it all feels quite raw and I'm pretty cut up about it. I guess it feels different to when the others died because I'm not there, I'm at uni, so I didn't get to bury her and say goodbye to her. I've been told she was fine with no signs of illness in the days beforehand, I guess it's just one of those things. I feel like I should've been there, even though there was nothing I could do.
It's so hard when they leave us. I'd love to see you once more Squeak, enjoying your bath, preening the others, just generally being nuts and meeping and being a crazy little ball of feathers. At least now you are with your sisters and your beloved Man Meep, forevermore, swinging away on the biggest swing and splashing in the biggest bath in birdie heaven. Fly high, baby girl, I know you will fly as high as your little wings will take you. I already miss you so much. Now you are free, my little angel xxx
