Rest in peace my little Dumpling On Monday 18th February we had to take the awful decision of ending Lilek’s suffering. My little Dumpling had a tumour. We had taken him to the vet on 9th February, we were told it was either a tumour or an infection. Lilek was treated for more than a week (twice a day) with Baytril and also had some anti-inflammatory drugs. I kept him by me almost constantly, feeding him Trill, Millet and water. Unfortunately he did not recover, the tumour grew and he was losing weight at a rapid rate. We could see that he had problems breathing, even walking where the tumour was pressing on his leg. I could have probably kept him going for another week, feeding him, helping him drink, but this is no way for a budgie to live. We did the kindest thing that we could. We both miss our little cheeky Dumpling, he was such a big part of our lives. He bit our fingers, toes and feet, but he touched our hearts. We were fortunate to spend time with him. He is now in the land of millet, swings and mischief.

So sorry, Marianne. There will only ever be one Dumpling, he has a place in your heart forever. A truly lovely photo there of him in all his glory. RIP Lilek.
I wonder if the land of swings and millet also has toes .......... xxx

That's a lovely photo of him. Dumpling looks as white and pure as snow. What a loveable little rogue he was. Rest in peace, sweetheart.

Rest in Peace, you handsome, wonderful little Dumpling, Lilek. You know how much everyone loved you, especially Marianne. Hopefully, when the grief subsides, she will remember your funny antics and smile.

Beautiful tribute to Lilek, Marianne. Gorgeous picture. How are you doing? (I guess we all have our ways of coping with loss, but I know I'll be a mess when this happens to me.)

Poor Dumpling. He looks so cute, pity you lost him. Wait a minute, is he one of those rare pure-white males with royal blue ceres? So sad. R.I.P Dumpling, enjoy your permanent stay at the land of freedom and treats.
