"I have a budgie that looks just like yours. Well, had a
budgie. His name was Angel (I only named him Angel because when
I got him I thought he was a girl) He died on Friday night around...10:00.
He was only 3 years old. I dont know why he died. I would let
him run around in the living room, my room and in the computer
room. (we have a dog that likes to chase him so I have to shut
the door) He would run around and eat things he found in the carpet.
When he got tired he would come to me and rest under my chin until
he was ready to explore again. He hasnt been doing to good for
the last 2 months now. I was giving him the wrong kind of food,
fruit stuff or something and he lost alot of weight. Then when
I gave him the right food, his beak cracked and he couldnt eat.
After that he started to be very lovey dovey. He would cuddle
longer and when ever I put my hand near to him, he would snuggle
right into it. On friday I brought him downstairs to the computer
room. as usual he waddled over to the computer tower on the desk
and snuggled up to it. I put my hand over him and he fell asleep.
After a half an hour, he started to wake up so I took my hand
off. He then started to drag himself around the desk. I got scared
and picked him up. He sat in my hand with his head on my thumb
and closed his eyes, sorta purring. I thought he was ok so I put
him back down and then he started to twich. I knew. I didnt want
to believe, but I knew. I took him upstairs and set him on his
cage door after telling my family. he wasnt able to stand without
falling over.
My dad took him and put him on his chest when he layed down.
He wasnt going to let him die alone. We couldnt do anything about
it. I already broke down into tears. I watched as Angel died.
I have been crying all week end on and off, mostly at night. This
morning I didnt want to do anything. I didnt know what to do.
It felt like and still feels like theres a big empteness in my
heart. I cant believe I will never see him again. I will never
be able to hold him again. We dug a grave for him in my front
yard. I am in the process of making a memorial for him. But it
feels like I will never heal. Thank you for taking the time to
read this. Angel meant the world to me."
