My super cool pet parrot passed on last week. She was born the 5th week of 1993 which made her 21 years old... Wasnt sick or anything that I could tell, just old I guess. She was fine when I got home, squaking, doing what birds do, then an hour later my woman came up and said somethings wrong with the bird... I ran down to find her laying on the floor on her side, picked her up, and she just died on me. It sucks, Ive had the bird longer than anyones ever had a dog. Got it when I was 13 and am now 34. We are going to bury her in this cool spot I know and make a geocache for kids to find that should be pretty fun, it will be a puzle cache where kids have to solve puzzles to find the next set of coordinates leading them eventually to the coolest cache they will ever have found.

Anyhow, heres a ew pics of my friend Cleo. She was an Alexandrine Ringneck.

Im going to get another bird, just not for a while. I know a place where I might be able to steal a baby red tailed hawk next spring from a nest, or there is a guy in Kelowna I would be able to buy a Toucan from...

Sorry to hear of your loss man. It's hard losing a pet of any kind that's for sure. We just had to put one of our boxers down in February and it's still hard to think about sometimes.

 

sorry about your loss... Sucks to loose something close.

 

im sorry for your loss ...i lost my chinchilla a year ago. that thing was like a dog, it knew its name, did tricks and was smart as hell, it hasnt been the same with out the little guy so i know your pain

 

Sorry for your loss.

 

sorry to hear that dude!

 

Thanks homies. A chinchilla hey? Those are neat little critters. Ive never met someone that owns one, but the ones at the pet store smile when you scratch their chin and they are very soft.

Been doing some research and designing my geocache puzzle and came across some STRANGE syncronicites...

Cleo was short for Cleopatra... Not sure why I named her that, and I didnt know anything about the original Cleopatra...

Cleopartra ruled Alexandria, Egypt... My bird was an Alexandrine ringneck
Cleopatra ruled for 21 years... My bird lived to 21...
Cleopatras name written in hyroglyphs was mostly BIRD glyphs...
Cleopatras husbands name was Mark Antony... My bird hated my friend Mark Anthony...
Cleopatra and Mark Anothonly had twins... So do I

 

Looks like a cool little guy and I'm sorry for your lose. My parents dog died a few yrs ago when I was living in Colorado. I took off 2 days of work to drive home to STL to say my good bye.
