I Feel...: Intensly Sad...

On Sunday Night I was watching a movie and my Bird (skava) started screeching.  I went and checked the food and water... all was well.  I sat back down.  Then he started screeching louder and I went to check on the female who was in the breeding box....

Turns out he was screeching because she had died.  Six years old.  They had lived their entire lives together.  I instantly started crying and went to tell my mom... She called my roommate (craig) and he came home to help me.  We buried her in the front yard and burned incense.  I threw the entire breeding box away.  I was sad but it was much worse for Skava.  He screamed ALL night.  I got a grand total of twenty min of sleep.  I felt so horrible... that would be like your simese twin dying.  They had never been separated.  

I called around to a few bird shops to see what I could do for him because I couldn't handle it.  Some said that it would make him happy to have another bird... but something tells me it wouldn't.  So Yesterday I went out and bought him forty dollars worth of toys.  He's okay now, I bought him a couple of mirrors.

I have had my birds for six years... It's going to be hard getting into the habbit of saying "bird" singular.  They were -my- first pets.  I paid for them and they were mine.  I just hope that skava remains being okay.  

Here's a picture...  Skava (on the right) is the one with the prominate yellow face, being the male and Marble (On the left) was the female with the grey face.
