Good evening folks


Jeannie, I'm so sorry You gave them a wonderful life

Thanks Bob. She was a good age.

That's rough Ribh, I'm so sorry.

Thanks, Lozzy. All good. Soda had been slowing down for some time so not completely unexpected.

It reflects very well on Ribh.

That's kind of you but I have also lost a lot of birds.

 

[Ribh]

They did do very well. Reflects well on their keeper.

But this does make me even more concerned for Lilly. She is about the same age.

I'm sorry Bob. The flip side of giving our hearts to creatures with shorter life spans. I'm just trying to enjoy my tribe for what it is now.

 

[Ribh]

I'm so sorry Ribh. You're not having an easy time of it just now.

Thanks ACM.

I think we’ve had a change in the pecking order! Penguin challenged both Tegan and Nyssa and chased them off! They are now keeping their distance from her. I don’t know who’s at the bottom though; Lottie and Snowy were chest-bumping yesterday.

Wow. That's one feisty little frizzle!

Soda is gone too.
In all honesty I wasn't expecting to find her alive this morning.
A storm rolled through late afternoon. Most of the girls were on the patio. Not Soda. I thought she was in the shed as she has been napping there late afternoon but wherever she sheltered wasn't adequate as she was soaked through. I dried her off, but old lady that she was, she kept nodding off & when I carried her to roost I noticed that in just a few days she had lost all her condition & was as light as Olivia. Without Hepzibah I think she lost all will to live.

She was the last of my original 5.

This is my favourite photo of her. My 3 big girls were dustbathing together happily when along came Soda & plonked herself in the middle of them! At least she was comfy!

Sad, but she had a good life with you Ribh. I was surprised when Blue Spot kept goind after her life long partner Harold died.
