Sad news, little Solo didn't make it :(

I believe he was like a premee. He was underdeveloped when he hatched. He should have been covered in feathers when he was born and he wasn't. He should have been sitting up or standing the day after he was hatched and he wasn't. 3 weeks into it, he was still laying on his back and not able to stand without help. I think that maybe even his internal organs might not have developed fully. He is buried in the bird garden with my other birds who had moved on. His parents are fine as animals accept death in a different way than we do. No more baby birds in this house. I don't want to go through this again. Solo died Feb 21st sometime in the early morning hours. I was going to let you all know yesterday but with all the drama going on here I didn't have the time and after things settled it just didn't seem like the right time. I believe Solo has gone on and will probably be reborn into another animal body and a stronger body at that. Those are my beliefs. As Soul, he still has a right to life and one longer than 3 weeks. :)

I miss his presence and still forget when the thought comes that I should check on him. Then I remember he's gone. :(

Colleen, Im really sad to learn about Solo, maybe God was easing baby birds pain.

commented 13 years ago

Colleen

I think so Dolly. I think that even if he had made it to adulthood, he might have had defects or many complications.

He did his best and the day before he went I had been holding him and he was peeping out this little song that sounded so happy. It was not his regular peep. It was like a song. I guess it was his thank you for his time with us. :)

Thanks Clu. No tears though. He'll have a better body the next time ;)

Maybe he'll be an eagle! In his next life. Bless him!

Eagles are protected here. That would be a good bird for him to be :)

No, there will be no more. I have 15 birds now. Solo was a surprise. I value the time he was here but I will not go through this again.

Well then, you've done well.
My brother once had a Grey Cheek Parakeet who was finger trained, he used to sit on my finger and be content to groom the short beard I had at the time. When he had enough he would lean towards his cage for me to take him to his room. His name was Ian !
I look forward to getting one for myself when I can.
