During the warm weather he loved to be outside in his large cage. We kept it on our front porch. We had put him out for the last 3 years at this house and never had a problem. Sadly I went out in the morning to check on him and he was laying in the bottom of the cage. He said hello PeeWee (his name) and that was when I saw what had happened. I rushed him to the vet but they said the damage was to bad and he needed to be put down. I miss him very much. |
How very sad for you! I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of PeeWee. It's amazing how these little critters bond with us. My friends don't believe how affectionate these birds can be until they experience it for themselves when they visit.
