So, my bird, whom I've had for years now finally kicked the bucket. Now dove's are pretty fragile and don't always last that long. He had a full dish of food, full water and was alive last night. I held him only two days ago. I'm sad, yes. I'm keeping my composure. Karma is irreplacable and I will always hold him close to my heart.
I've decided to celebrate his life rather then mourn his death. He was well taken care of (90% of the time) yes at my mothers there were times I forgot to feed him but since hes been here between matt and I he was spoiled and out constantly. He got to go outside a few times, see the sun in the summer, feel it on his wings. He knew tricks and loved people. He was the gentlest bird I've ever had.
Now not to sound like an asshole, I will be getting a new bird. NOT to replace him but because I've had a bird in my life as long as I could remeber. Oscar(my cockatiel) was in my life from age 5 until he passed when I was in college, I got Karma not long after, Steph got him for me as a late bday early xmas gift. I don't remeber much time with out a bird in my life. Also I'm an air sign and I've always loved birds more than any other animal (aside from dragons and unicorns LOL) But yes I will get another but not to replace him. I was actually going to get another soon so he would ahve a playmate and I will not change my plans because he passed away.
