I DO have other birds, Sassy, Chip and Jellybean that I also love dearly. I guess..they just don't love me the way Amigo did..

Mare, I cannot even imagine how rough this is for you.. and if you ever want to talk I will be here to listen. Amigo was the best bird even if he was a "fricken dang bird".. he had an amazing experience with you guys.. being able to fly in the wild and all. Even though his truly amazing life was cut short, he had it better than most companion birds ever will. You gave him everything, and we saw that clearly here on PP.. Give extra cuddles to your other babies Sassy JB and Chip, and let them know we all love them and you. Please don't be shy and send me a PM if you just want to vent

@Mare;
I too am very sorry for your great loss. All of us here are feeling your pain. There will always be a spot in our hearts that will flutter with joy when we think of him. He is never gone because he has touched the lives of many. His life was full of happiness, joy and the freedom that any companion bird would envy. I believe one day all of your family will meet with him again.
Many hugs to you and your family during this difficult time.

Those tears are just reminders of just how special he was. I'm sure it will take awhile for them to stop flowing but while they do remember they represent the love you have for him. The incredible, amazing and wonderful Mi Amigo! He lives on within all of us.

Oh Mare, I am so very sorry. Amigo wasn't just your bird. He was your second husband and I know he took up an enormous space in your heart. I can't imagine how painful this is for you and Tim. Amigo was a super special guy. I am so sad about his departing. I looked forward to reading all about his exploits and seeing his pics. What an awesome guy. I can honestly say I loved that little stinker even though I never met him in person.
He was a joy and got to live life the way we all wish our companion parrots could. Flying free, screeching with joy, playing in his trees and being with his love, you. What a lucky guy. He was blessed the day your friend called you to take him. Your family made such a wonderful difference in his life and he did the same for you. The reason you are so sad is bc you loved him so much and he loved you right back. What a special bond you had. Not many people are lucky enough to have had that.

My heart misses several beats, thinking about how different his life was from many. It was a good one and not what many could experience. I sometimes wonder..why,,though..

Mare: You gave Amigo the life he so deserved. All captive birds deserve the same freedoms that he enjoyed... but unfortunately the overwhelming majority of their caregivers are not able to provide those freedoms for them. You were thankfully able to do so for Amigo and you made sure that it truly happened. He had a wonderful life
He wanted to live. He was my Heaven... He's gone!

Mare ,you and Amigo had the experience of a lifetime , You both had the best of both worlds. At the end of the day, we must all realize this is a temporal world we share. And we are all going down the same path. Your intentions for your feathered companion were always pure of heart, that is all that matters in this physical world that we share.
All is well.

--- From, Rosemary ..I feel as though Amigo had no choice as far as him being born and raised in captivity , wings clipped and caged. When he came to live with my Auntie Mare, he was given a choice he never knew he had..freedom..
This wrapped around my heart, this made me realize all was good..ok..
