I am so sorry!! I am a grey mom, and know the bird-human bond. Chances are he did not drown, though, but had a heart attack... Many condolences!

What kind of bird was he? I just got home from work and am reading your taxidermist idea... I know that I couldn't bear the notion of seeing my bird (or any companion animal) preserved that way, I think it's a good way to honor your bird. Keep the cage. You never know. I have a grey, and they are large and honestly, not for everyone. Most folks who keep birds shouldn't go bigger than a Pionus or Conure type, IMO. My baby is captive bred, but he is only a few generations away from the wild. Cockatiels, parakeets, budgies, are pretty much domesticated and easier to deal with.

Am I reading this right? You kept a parrot on an unheated porch in Pennsylvania? (Or did you mean kept there after he passed?) And it had been tagged when captured? I didn't know it was still legal to import wild birds. I thought only domestically bred birds were legal for sale. I am sorry for your loss, but I'm reading many red flags here. Aren't the large parrots supposed to have a lifespan close to that of humans? 7-10 years doesn't sound like a long life to me. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I know there are many folks here who are experienced bird owners.

As much as I love the larger birds- I doubt I will get one again while at this address. Once I am able to move- perhaps it will be different. A smaller bird could happen. :-) no hurry- tho. I had thought of asking for pics of him afterwords... but - it is what it is. He really was pretty. I still have a cat - my cat is only 1 year old. We bonded nicely. There is alot to know with a large bird. so- for now it is me and the cat. :-)

quote: ORIGINAL: pahunkboy so- I am not too happy. I found him drowned in his water dish this morning. :-( I am not sure what I will do with his cage and stuff. I'm sorry to hear that. I love my pets and would miss them terribly. I can imagine how you might feel.

Senegal parrots, or any of the Poicephalus species, are a smaller bird with a big personality. They are great fun.

Um, thorny, I thought a Percyphallus is a gay boid wif a big dick ( for a boid). No?

Sorry for your loss pahunkboy. Tonight when I stopped in the pet store to get my kitty some food, I totally got cat called by an African Grey. They can totally imitate a whistle, those little flirts ;-) I'm sure you'll keep your good memories. - LA

pahunkboy -> RE: my parrot passed away overnight- (2/13/2010 3:54:29 AM)
..thanks all. I am going to do some type of makeover to the living room he was in. That cage is driving me nuts. The floor plan is a double living room.
