Last night my parakeet Skye passed away. Just like 2 1/2 years old which is just too young. I really do not know what happened. That day he seemed fine. I had let them out to fly around earlier and even that evening I had been in the room and saw that they were both fine. But that night I went to go to bed and Icarus (my other parakeet) was acting like he wanted out of the cage, which is very strange for bedtime. They usually can't wait to have the light off and go to bed lol. So I went over to talk to him and I only saw him at first. Then I looked down and saw Skye already gone :( I never heard any commotion or anything even.
Skye was such a beautiful bird. He was never very friendly and grumpy so much that I had wondered if he was a female lmao! He did bite me quite a lot but I loved him. He loved music alot and when I would play Just Dance on the Wii he would get so excited and dance and then fly all around the room and I danced. It was adorable.
He was very smart and a great flyer. He helped Icarus learn to fly better :)
That is actually the worst part I think, is that now Icarus is alone. I got them together and they have never been apart. And it can be very difficult for birds when one of them passes. After it happened Icarus flew out of the cage & up onto my curtains & Skye would always follow him, Icarus was the brave one lol. So when Skye didn't come Icarus called out to him and then kept tilting his head all over looking. Then after a while just was completely quiet, which he is never quiet. It broke my heart.
Icarus didn't even start talking when my husband came home. Not until we picked up my cat Keeba to see him. Keeba has always been madly in love with the birds. he is very well behaved and asks to be picked up to visit almost every day lol. And in turn the very silly birds who do not understand they should be afraid of a cat love him right back lol. So as soon as he saw Keeba he began chatting away. So sweet.
I am not going to get another parakeet though which is a tough decision. I had decided a long time ago, it is just very difficult with the cats. I lock the cats out of the room when they get to fly around but I just found it hard to give them the right amount of attention. It wasn't fair to them. Plus birds are very very loud & in an apartment it made it difficult, I really never minded usually but my husband hated it.
I think I will move his cage out to the living room next to my computer during the day when I am here and my husband is at work. Then I can also leave the tv on in my room for him the rest of the time. And will make sure to give him lots of extra time out and attention. I thought of moving his cage near the rats, because another animal would just give him something ya know? But I am worried about how I could without letting the cat get to it.
My cats have never bugged the birds but my youngest is far too crazed to be anywhere near them or the cage. If he could get to it, it would be bad :(
I am very sad. I cried a ton. Death is so hard to deal with. I love this little beautiful bird and not having him there anymore is just very sad. I am just hoping Icarus will be ok. My husband was very sweet and told me he is driving back home tomorrow anyways and will take Skye and bury him with my other birds who passed on as well.
