So sad...

My dad found my parrotlet, Zephyr, dead tonight... It's really upsetting, especially because he and his mate Calypso were super, super close. They'd always cuddle and sweet talk to each other and just adored each other. I just saw them the other day, they seemed energetic as ever. We had Zephyr for around ten years, I think, which isn't very long for a parrotlet. I'm not sure why he died, though I asked dad to save the body just in case I can pinpoint something from an external examination. Probably not, and I'm not going to do a necropsy on my own bird (too upsetting), but I might as well take a look.

I can't believe he's gone so suddenly. I still remember the day we got him so clearly. I wanted a parrotlet for years before we got him. He was such a cheerful sweetheart of a bird. I just hope Calypso's going to be okay with Zeph gone...

I have a lonely, sweet male lovebird here at my other house, since Olive died of egg binding a few months ago, but I don't know if the two could live together, being different species. Mango is not aggressive, but Calypso's pretty small and I don't know if she could cope. Well, I'll think about it.

Rest in peace, Zephyr, I'll miss you. You were so special to me and my dad really, really loved you.

Crying now, but trying to convince myself to go back to drawing.

I'm very sorry that you have lost your Zephyr :c I know what it feels like to lose a pet. You lose much more than just a pet. You lose a friend, and a family member as well. It'll take some time, but you will heal.

I'm just a stranger so I hope this doesn't come off as creepy, but I saw a picture of him on your DA and drew you this picture in hopes of helping you feel better, even if just a little. Your Pika is bidding farewell to him as he flies off to birdie heaven.
Even if his little birdie spirit is gone, he'll stay with you forever; in your heart amongst all of the fun memories that you shared together. :)

Oh my gosh, this was incredibly sweet of you. ;____; I'm tearing up right now, thank you so much, I'm going to treasure this forever! I'm really going to miss that little guy. Thank you for being so sweet as to draw such a cute drawing for me to help me feel better. I'll feel better, gradually, I'm just worried about his mate and hope she'll be okay...

I'm happy if I could bring at least a little bit of sunshine into your day, dear <3 I don't know much about birds but maybe you could try putting the lovebird and caly's cages near each other to see how they act/get them comfortable with another before trying anything big like moving them in together. Whatever you do, I wish you the best of luck and hope you cheer up<3
