One last on Tuky... RIP little buddy

[nadinbrzezinski]

So today I brought tuky home for the last time. We allowed the parrots to see the body. I have never, ever seen the behaviors he saw next. They did not want to get too close. They stood at distance, and cookie started cooing... that is the best way to describe the low squaks, some of them in the inaudible range. He just stood there, and did that for a good twenty minutes.

Connie stood on Cookie's open door and just remained silent or low squaks too. They were never this quiet unless it involved food.

If I were religious I'd say the boy was praying.

When we took the box to bury him, they both protested, a loud squak, almost like a scream.

It was heart breaking, but I think the two parrots finally got it... he is no more among the living.

I decided to share, because this was a very strange behavior... almost like crying.

Old boy, RIP... he was laid to rest under a Blood Orange tree...
