Sam007- Thanks guys.
lovezebs - You pegged it. It feels unfair. Like it was way too soon.
I wish she'd shown symptoms. I have medications. I could have treated her. I could have done something to help. I know what she looked like when unwell; she was unwell when I adopted her. But she got better.
I'm so upset over this! And I feel so stupid being so upset and crying over a little bird who wasn't tame or particularly outstanding in any way.
It's a bit inexplicable.
But I realized it when you said it, Elana. It feels unfair. Unfair that she got so little time in a loving home and at least twice as long (and likely much more) in a crappy situation. Unfair that I didn't even have a chance to help her.
I wonder if she was much older than I realized - an old breeder whom they were done using at the commercial breeding facility. I'll never know, of course.
She just had the mannerisms of an older bird. Hard to describe, but it's like a calmness and wiseness that you see in older birds. Or maybe not. Maybe she was young and that was just how she was.
These creatures bring such happiness. But then they leave and it just plain sucks.
What's more, I hate it that my happy place (my bird room) has been turned into a sad place.
Silva's girlfriend, Juliette, is sitting all alone. She looks so sad and lonely.
