R.I.P. BLUE MESA

Post by finchmix22 » Tue Sep 03, 2013 10:05 am

I am so sad to tell everyone that Blue Mesa, my Forbes cock, died this am. Probably from his injury yesterday. :cry: His mate is so sad and looking for him and calling for him. I feel sorry for her right now. I pray he is flying and happy in Pet Heaven! [-o< [-o<

How awful! So sorry for the sudden unexpected loss. You really had no way of predicting such a freak accident-occurrence. Very strange.
