Melody is gone

[Mrs.JP3]

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.

I am so sorry to hear that you lost little Melody so unexpectedly like this. I always thought that Melody was such a sweet name for a girl bird. You must be heartbroken. It's amazing how much they steal your heart. {{Sending you hugs}}

I am very sorry for your loss...

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!).


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.

[Mrs.JP3]

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.

Oh I am so very sorry to read this! I also love the name Melody. Stay strong!

I am so sorry for your loss. Our little ones are so delicate that it’s almost scary sometimes.

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?

Thank you Dave, Bogie had good taste. She was really stunning. I miss her so much.
