@wisco50, yes, I wrote down all my parrots' words and phrases too. Like you, I eventually had to rehome them to a wonderful home because of my health issues. The night before Touga was to leave, my friend came over and sat next to him as he sat on his little table/perch. She explained to him how he had had a wonderful life with me, and was so well loved and cared for, but now mummy had to give him to another loving family. Touga listened carefully to the long story, and quietly and sadly said, "OK". I'm sure he understood her every word. I've never sobbed so hard, the morning of his departure. Ah, our wonderful pets.

Oh my gosh, my heart hurts for you with that beautiful story. Thanks for sharing.
@artist01, What a touching story. I understand about sobbing. Anyone who has ever owned a pet knows the heartbreak of losing a much-loved companion. Your story brought tears. Many of us have lost pets and I still cry when I think of our first dog's death. Wow, here come the tears again. I need to switch gears and start doing some work around the house. Thinking of you, @joybringer1

Oh, @artist01, I am not an easy crier but this has tears streaming! We mortals have so much to learn from our animal families. So often I think they have a much better understanding of people than we of them. This is one of the most touching posts I've read. Think I'd better "layer up" and take a brief walk to refocus. Thank you for this heart touching share.
