Emma, I am so sorry for your loss. I know Chips had a
wonderful life with you, and that is conforting. Our little
cluster canary died a few days ago and it was terribly sad
for all of us in the family. he was poisoned with food with
two little finches we also had. Fortunately our other birds
are fine, but these three left a painful empty spot in our
hearts.
It`s wonderful you also have a cockatiel as I have heard
they are the nicest and mody affectionate creatures.
I hope you have a beautiful and loving new canary very soon.
Love
Maria
