I'm just in total shock right now. Melody is gone. We have no idea what happened. She was on the bottom of her sleepy cage this morning. She was perfect yesterday. I know it's nothing we did or didn't do, I just don't understand. We both cried for about an hour and now I just feel so weird. I just can't believe it. She was so beautiful, the most beautiful little blue bird ever. I thought we had many many years left with her. I feel numb.

Oh My!
Violet! I do not know what to say! You are so good with your birds, baby and hubby, so I know for a fact it wasn't in your control what happened to sweet Melody.! I've been there, and I know that this is a great shock! Melody was Bogie's first girlfriend! He fell in love with her picture! (BTW...so did I and everyone else!).:confused:


I just told Vicki and she is soooo sad right now. I have tears, too! We will remember her always! Rest in Peace, Melody. Say hello to Bogie and Ricochet at the Parrotlet Rainbow Bridge! May God Richly Bless You and Yours.


Sincerely,


David and Vicki, in the Spirit of Bogie and Ricochet!

Oh Vi. This is a shock. I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious girl. She was so special because she started your love of birds. There is nothing I can say to take away your pain, but I'm smiling because my Timmy has a beautiful girl to fly with along the rainbow bridge.

Thanks you guys, it's so quiet in the house without her. Thinking about Bogie, and Ricco, Timmy, and all the other precious little ones at the rainbow bridge does bring me some comfort. I'm always so sad when I see that one of our well known feathered friends leaves us.... It helps to know that you all are grieving with us too for little Melody.

Violet,

I am still thinking bout Melody! I looked back into Bogie's journal and read some things that I wrote about Melody. It isn't in great detail, but there's a part written about when I showed Bogie Melody's picture for the first time. When he saw the picture, he stared at it. I have showed him other pics of other birds and he didn't give the pics the time of day. But Melody! I wrote on a side column in his journal, " Man! What a beautiful bunch of chickies they would have! " ( no kidding!)



I wrote about this in one of my posts a long time ago. This is why I said that Melody was Bogie's first and only girlfriend. Violet, you and I have been through something horrible! It is even worse because we do not know what happened! Vicki and I talked about what happened and we are deeply sorry and saddened. It brought back memories that some, we rather forget.


We have seen a lot of parrotlets leave us way too early and we don't know why. We have read about all the great and happy things that our p'letts have done. We have read about all the things that the temperamental little darlings did. And there was Melody and Bogie and all the other's in the forum. I can't remember all their names!


But there was Melody and Bogie. Everybody knew and knows their names. I will never forget Melody and how gorgeous she looked and I will never forget Bogie and the fantastic life he lived and shared with all of us. Whew! Was it all a dream?


David and Vicki:confused::confused:

Thank you Jeanne. I'm so sad because the last year was really difficult, working full time and going to beauty school and doing all the driving for my husband and I (he's visually impaired) WHILE I was pregnant and then Tobie was sick and now with the baby I just hadn't spent any time with her for months. It was so hard, she just wanted her daddy anyway and trying to spend time with her was so difficult for me. John was the one who she was always glued too and she was so protective of him she was really aggressive with me so I just got so frustrated and would leave her alone because I didn't want her to attack me. I didn't think I was never going to be able too again and now I just wish I could play with her and love on her one more time. I know she had the best life but I missed so much of it I'm just heartbroken about that.

I am shocked. So sorry that this is happening to you. I know she was a sweet bird and how close you two are. I have no words that will help. I just know you guys will be together again somehow.

Thanks Ozzie. I am still shocked too. I'm having a hard time crying for her because I just can't process that she's gone. John has been randomly bursting into tears and I'm here crying right now in bed I just feel sick the my stomach when I think about it.

I'm so sorry to read this! I gasped and welled up with tears, and I know I only feel a fraction of what you are feeling right now. I'm so sorry. :(

It's definitely not something you did. You gave her such a wonderful home and she was definitely well-loved.

Sending healing thoughts your way.

Guys, i still haven't been able to bring myself to make a rainbow bridge post. I still cant believe she's gone. I also need to change my signature but i haven't done that either. Just feeling a little sad. :( I wish I could love on her just one more time. With Tobie i knew he was on his way to passing and i got to dote on him a lot but Melody was just so sudden I feel guilty because I wish I had spent more time with her instead of just letting her be my husbands bird, she was so attached to him it was almost impossible but maybe I could have done more.

The tradeoff of these wonderful creatures is that rarely do we get to say goodbye to them. You gave her a good life, and that is all we can ask for on this earth. I doubt you could have changed her mind about anything, but you let her be happy. It is hard to say goodbye, though. My user name is a tribute to my first bird, Ruby, who taught me everything about loving feathery creatures. I don't feel like I have truly said goodbye to her, and it has been 8 years. Just hold on to the love and relationship that you had, and know that it was a good life for her.
