Sep 2020

died this past week, he was maybe 20 years old ... a gray Cockatiel that i've had for ~19 years... he was fine the morning when we woke, as we speak tik tik to each other each day ... and it was about noon as i realizes he was too quiet..
found him dead on the floor of his cage 🙁
20 years is a nice long life for this breed so i had to accept it, but it is most lonely now that he is gone .. now i'm just an old guy talking to himself 😑

2020 shows no mercy so far
