Very sorry for your loss. I had a cockatiel growing up (named Yellowbeard), and I loved that guy. Didn’t live nearly as long as yours. Yours was loved more than mine for sure.

    Some of it’s just luck; being prey animals that aren’t really truly domesticated like dogs or even cats, they tend not to show any weakness until their bodies just run out of steam. A lot of times you just never know, and it’s not for lack of love.

    I do think sometimes people miss out on how interactive and affectionate they can be, and that’s a shame.
