My parrot is still hanging in there - although she isn't very active. She is partly this way because I have been so downhearted about the shape our country is in - I was wearing my heart on my sleeve. But she is very delicate now. I suspect she could go any day. I know I said it before, but she is almost 38 years old - I've known her since she was an egg. Her parents were my pets when I was in high school. I have never lived even one day without a parrot in my life. I can't bear this! I am really saddened - but I have post-it notes all over the house to look happy. Worse still, her partner is also in pain - I am struggling with the idea of putting them down both the same day. I don't want to be me that day.
