It has been almost a year now when we decided to adopt a Cockatiel bird. A very young, still hand fed bird. It was a surprise from the husband actually,one night, he came home with a fragile baby bird and some bird supplies and feeding items too. Actually, it was me who got so surprised to see a super young bird in close up! It still freaks me whenever I imagine the tiny bird, it’s just not normal to see few feathers stuck on a birthday or whatever you explains that. And the fact that it often squeaks and not twit is just unusual thing for a non bird enthusiast like me. But our daughter?! oh wow, she just totally loves the bird the first time she saw it! they were like meant to be together, the bird was not afraid of my loud talking daughter and loves being touch by her ! Anyways, the husband also came with a flier of different Bird Cages to choose from and some more pet bird supplies like little toys for the cage and feeding syringes and feeds too.
Unfortunately, after a few weeks, our bird dies… by a hideous massacre of our neighbor’s stray cat!!! Turns out the bad cat were really eying on our bird that it often waits for us to leave the house so he can attack. And then one night we found our poor bird torn into pieces, lifeless. Such a traumatic scene in fact for my little girl. That until now, she still despise cats (whenever she sees one) and misses our Sasha…
Good thing, I was able to capture some snaps of them together… one of my daughter’s happy times indeed. Sasha should have been 1 year old today…. wherever you are dear bird, we still remember. Thank you for the happiness you brought to our daughter.
