Awwww I don’t blame you. My birds bring me so much joy so I can imagine what kind of stress relief they are to you. I’m so sorry for your loss. Losing a child is a parents worst nightmare. My heart aches for you. As I squeeze my children in the next coming weeks, know I will be praying for you all in that moment.

What are you feeding them, how old are they and how long has the problem been going on?
