I thought I'd feel better as time passed, but maybe it is the holidays.... I seem to be missing that crazy Hopper squawk and scream more lately. She was such a presence, I miss her.

It is so hard to lose them. I still tear up if I think about my Caiques that I lost several years ago. You're not alone. Just keep loving the babies you still have! That always makes me feel better.

I know what you mean. A friend of mine has a female blue front that's almost as cuddly as Pecker. I spent about an hour of my birthday just playing with that bird...

All of mine are great, but I miss her...

Tusk is becoming quite the cuddle bird these days. Which is a bit odd. He's always been a bit aloof and independent...
