I am so sad today Tori, my 7 yr-old bird died. Her mate Dana died Thursday. Tori was my grand-champion dark-blue she was rare becuse she contained 5 colors white, dark grey, black, light and dark blue. I have never been able to reproduce this color again. Dana was 3 and was from a set of boy-girl twins that were given to me as a gift on Thanksgiving three years ago. He was light pale yellow like the color of butter.


But good news does come from this. The youths we have been working with for the past 3 years, have been taking care and producing new babies. Two brothers are really good at this and they said I will be for a surprise when the new babies are ready Nov. 26th. They have assured me they are following my intructions and have produced new colors that even I may not have seen. This makes me so happy becuase these brothers now want to go to school to be vets.

I peeked at some of the fraile babies that need special care and they were taking care of them great. I couldn't be more proud because I want the youth to know more than video games and cable tv among other things. There I feel better, okay see you later.

Sorry for your loss.

It sounds like you are keeping a goo dperspective on it, though!

sorry ...

what kind of birds are you raising ?

In September, one of my dogs died, and I was sooooo upset that I actually posted a thread about it here on the forum. I received quite a few responses and in fact printed them out coz I was so touched by the outpouring of support from people that I didn't even know.

Well, after that experience, I want give back that "love" to people who are in a similar situation. I'm so sorry to hear about Tori. But I'm happy for the "good news" concerning the young people who now want to become vets. That's really wonderful!

They will always be special in your heart, others will come and go but each pet remains lodged in your heart
