    Old softy sentimentalist that I am that brought a tear to my eyes. You wrote earlier about some sort of memorial plaque for Amigo, well there you have your text.
    I think it takes a very special relationship between bird and owner to make a free flying situation like yours work. So many birds just bu**er off because they are not really happy where they live.

    This wrapped around my heart, this made me realize all was good..ok..
    Your niece has a beautiful way with words. I would just add one other word along with "freedom" and that is "love". It took a special kind of "love" to give Amigo "freedom".

    It truly does take a special kind of love, Helena. Since Amigo's passing, my stress level has definitely lowered. My love level has increased. Fricken dang bird, will just not go away,,thank you, Universe.

    To be the significant other in a human/parrot relationship, is a responsibility that carries its own stressors. It truly is a relationship that can't be shared and juggling that relationship with your human relationships can leave its toll, no matter what the rewards are for either, jmo.
    I think for non- bird people, this is a difficult concept to understand. But the richness of the relationships that we have with our birds is irreplaceable.

    Mare...Im so sorry to be late in offering our condolences.Amigo was definately a one of a kind.You should take comfort and be proud that you were able to offer him the best life any companion bird could expect.To have the life you were able to give him by having the freedom he had you truely gave him the gift of a thousand lives.We will all remember his antics fondly and I personally am proud to know you as someone who gave this special creature all that you could.

    Thank you, Dave, your words touch my heart. The little/huge character is truly missed around here. I'm preparing my self to take apart his large indoor cage that's in the bird's room, I'm not quite ready, not yet. As soon as the weather starts to cool, I'll start sanding down the chewed areas of the wooden deck railings where he's made his mark. They will forever be there and over time these marks blend in to the rest of the rail just with a drift wood kind of effect.

    Thank you again, everyone, for your supportive words

    Oh Mare, I had not been on here for a while but came on a couple of weeks ago and saw what happened to Amigo. I wanted to post something comforting but had no words for it then and still don't, my heart hurt so bad. I hope you can feel a whole bunch of cyber hugs and never forget all the happiness you gave each other.

    (((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))
