Johnny Bird

Johnny Bird, my roommate's little 7 year old cockatiel, passed away on Saturday morning. He was a funny, sweet, cantankerous little boy who went unexpectedly, and way before his time. I was lucky to have 10 months with him, and I am so glad that he had gotten to the point that he would let me rub his head and kiss his tummy. He was well loved, and is hopefully up in birdie heaven with my beloved little Boo Bird. I miss you Mr. B!!

My heart goes to you guys. I had a Cockatiel named Tiger (he had neato stripes... grey on grey on top of his wings) and i went to work, and came home one day and he was... I don't know how else to say it... he was "crashed" on the floor of his cage... which he was only forced to stay in when I was out! It was heartbreaking and awful and he was such a great bird. I miss that cute little orange cheek! My sympathies to you.
