Mr Mechanical is put down
Sadly for me, and I am very sad I had to put down my male Zeb, Mr Mechanical was fighting a mite problem and after 2 weeks I decided I wont let him suffer as he got bad, puffed up, fell of perch and sitting on floor breathing heavily, I tried lots of things, even a vet and special meds and bio tics, I tried it all. Just no ways, so I decided to put him down, one of the worst things I have had to do.
I will miss him and his ways.

So sorry to hear about your loss. It's such a heart-wrenching decision to let a beloved pet go. At least Mr. Mechanical no longer suffers and will be flying free.

Re: Mr Mechanical is put down
He crept into my heart and was a stunning little guy, but I gave him a great life, place to stay and was always cared for a slept nice and warm, had the best foods so I have a clear mind, just sorry to have to do what I did it was not nice, but he was beyond help, he was just waiting so it was not fair, I did what I did out of kindness, was not easy at all. Now he can sleep well. Thanks all. Gary

Gary that is very sad news, I'm sorry for your loss.
You made the best decision for Mr Mechanical under the circumstances.. it takes a lot of courage to do what's best for our pets despite the heartache. Rest in peace, Mr Mechanical.
