Description Edit:

Cawcaw died this afternoon. It was very sudden and quick. I am glad this is the last photo I took of her, because it's just how I loved her. Cuddly, serene, and just a bit haughty.


To my dearest friend. Thank you for sitting around through the tough times, even though you didn't have much choice. You were never a mean bird and never bit me. You were never loud, and were always willing to cuddle up to me when you felt like it. I will miss you so much.

~

My beautiful little pearl cockatiel, Cawcaw. She's been with me for nearly ten years, I love her so much.

(This is how most birds sleep, btw. One leg tucked up and the head behind their wing. Tardis, my other cockatiel, tends to just fall asleep with his head drooping down by his tummy XD )

When I took this she was sitting on the flap of her cage door, snoozing away. Now she's eating. She's very adventurous and loves to explore the floor (Her favourite spot is under the fridge ) and climb to places otherwise thought impossible for a creature with no arms.

She'll eat anything, and go to any lengths to get to food.

I love my birdies ;~;

Very lovely picture. It is very sad that our loved pets leave us so soon. In last 3 years I lost my chinchilla which wasn't even a year old, and my dog which was a dear friend to me for 13 years. But lets be strong. Their memory is always with us.

She is wonderful! lovely colors

I wonder if I can use your picture as a refference for a drawing I am making to a cockatielproject I am having at school : ) I will give you all credits for it!
(the project is about a digital cockatielhandbook, and your picture would fit perfectly as refference to the front page : ) )

Sometimes the most important shots are the ones that are most simple, which we see every day.

I have four cockatiels... I dread the day they'll die (because naturally, I'll outlive them... ).

I've already lost one... she was a beautiful blue Parakeet... T^T

I had a similar situation July 19th when my sweet little Cliffy passed away. In tribute I got my first tattoo, and it was of him. He meant the world to me. Birds are very kind and loving creatures.
