We've gathered and continue to gather wonderful Companion Parrot Advocates from around the world to write their stories and experiences. These are Advocates who are making a difference by working tirelessly in Advocacy itself, Parrot Rescue and Sanctuary and Avian Veterinarian Care. These stories, and real life experiences are here for you to read, share, learn and apply not only to your own flock, but to your own efforts inside your own companion parrot advocacy.
I hope you'll find ideas and inspiration while reading through these Advocate Articles. Remember, your thoughts and comments are important, they are integral to the success of our prime directive here; To give every parrot, every where, a happy home.
Our companion parrot's form bonds with their flock mates. The depth of the flock friendship is deep and strong. When on partner dies, the other is left to grieve. Death affects our birds, as much as it may us. Ollie and Jesse were just such a friendship.
We will all say goodbye some day. Death is as much as Life in this world. Companions, parrots, pigeons or any other you choose to love, will challenge us in their health and wellness care. Even at our best we may miss things, or never be given a clue. Saying goodbye is always difficult, even under the best of circumstances. Maggie Pigeon Queen shows this through her passing.
Illness and the passing of a companion parrot can be one of the most difficult moments in our relationships with our birds. We all handle death differently, and there is no "right way" to grieve. There is just a personal journey through that pain.
