And I've been assured it wasn't bird flu, thank goodness, so my lovebird Zorro should be fine.
I just wanted to honor Rocky in some small way, and there's no way more fitting than this thread. If only you all could have seen how happy he was to finally be allowed to stomp and dance all over my keyboard (after being told "NO!" so many times), you just wouldn't stop laughing.
I just re-read this thread, and am finally laughing again after a very tough couple of days. I hope you'll do the same, then go give your pet(s) extra hugs, kisses, and treats tonight.

Oh, Chuck. I am so very sorry. It is hard when birds get sick. I know.
Rocky was a special bird. He sure gave me some joy and I never even really got to meet him.
Please take care of yourself and Zorro and know that my thoughts are with you. Banjo and Coco send peeps and Birdie hugs.
So do I.
