Re: What to do for a king who has lost his queen.../Ron
Posted by Debby on 6/21/05

I am sorry for your birds passing Ron. I know how you feel, I
lost one last week, and his birdy friend he housed with is sad
as well. He is coming around though, just a little bit of
extra loving, and tlc and he is getting better. It takes time.
I do hope your bird can get over this. Its a hard thing losing
a feathered friend, and harder on the bird left behind.
Thinking of you.
