Silver, passed Oct. 30, 2014

Our sweet baby bird, Silver, was born in August 2013. He came into our home in early October as an early birthday present for our 7-year-old girl. She worked so hard to help Silver acclimatize and learn to trust and before we knew it, he was roaming free in our home. He would sing so beautifully and fly across the room to perch on your shoulder. He was such a bright companion and joy. He was learning speech and loved nuzzling those he loved.

Just over one year later, we returned home to find our precious boy at the bottom of his cage. We thought by shutting him in while we were gone, we were protecting him from the hazards around the house, but by a freak accident he sustained a head injury while in his own safe & personal territory. We were able to sing to him and comfort him while the tears were streaming down our faces. It was so unfair for our sweet bird to have to go in such a way & we look forward to someday seeing him on the other side.
