Tas

Alright, I officially give up on this night. It finally hit me as I knew it would, so I have been bawling all night long and now I am exhausted and tired of myself.

I have ... the world's most beautiful creation sitting in the cage next to me since Sunday afternoon, and I would give anything for it to be not this intensely stunning Tas sitting

I'm sure this is a stupid question, but do you know why they don't spay/neuter birds? Is it because they are so fragile when it comes to anestesia? Obviously their reproductive areas aren't the same as mammals, but it seems like there could be something people could do to help avoid those crazy hormones.

at any rate, he's gorgeous.

There are no stupid questions ! Well, that's what they say ... there actually ARE stupid question, but this one is not. As far as I know the procedure is done in very rare cases of life threatening chronic egg-laying/binding in female parrots because it's very risky. I haven't heard of a case when a male bird had been neutered (or spayed ... I never know which is which, lol), probably because what is done generally doesn't alter the hormonal/behavioral side of the problem

He is beautiful. And not a replacement for Wru, just an addition to Wru's memory. Or rather, your memory.

Glad to see you posting. I will send you my address soon!

I know ... if only because no other bird can every replace our little Wru. Every single one of these feathered buggers ;) is unique, and he really was special.

Waiting for the add; glad to read you again, too.

ahhhh...I was so hoping he would have come back by now, I'm so sorry

No hope lost; he's banded and chipped and I have all his papers, so once he shows up somewhere, I have the means of solid-rock-proving we are his family. And if he is alive at all, he is bound to show up somewhere one day, be it a vet or some other kind of official instance. I'll wait for him.

(((Hugs))) thank you :)

I'm so sorry to hear that you have not been able to find Wru :(

Losing a pet is so difficult, and I wish there was something that I could offer to help. Unfortunately, after I lost Midnight, the only thing that really helped was time. Time heals, but there will always be a scar left behind. There will also be beautiful memories to hold onto to keep your pet alive in your heart.

*hugs*

I'm sorry for your loss, too ... and I'm sorry for us both to know how it hurts to lose a pet.

It's just ... there has been no closing, either, you know ? I think that is part of the problem. I don't know whether he's dead of alive somewhere, whether some f*cker kept him. I keep going back and forth between hope, despair, anger (why would someone keep such a pet, when it is obvious somebody loved him and cared for him very well and would certainly be looking for him ? What in the #$%^&*( hell is wrong with people). I keep breaking my head over thinking of what I should do next and what is left still to do to try to get him back.

I fear ... I'll never get to know what became of him, and never find peace because there will be a chance for the rest of my life (as they can live well up to 50+ years).

(((Hugs))) I wish for easier times on all of us.
