Timney grey


My timney grey died this morning he had been fine was shaking a little bit he was 24 and I’m so upset I loved him so much and he is going to be missed so much I’m nearly 77 so won’t replace him going to miss his whistles and the love he gave me this is so hard just telling you he is going to be so missed his name was scruffy cos he was called that when we first got him he was scruffy but he improved so much over the years RIP my darling birdie love you so much xx


Answer:

Hi,

I am so sorry for your sad loss. Lisa Bono, a behaviorist who specializes in Greys, presented a touching webinar earlier this year on bereavement. Viewing it and hearing Lisa’s experience with losing her Grey may give you some comfort. It sounds like Scruffy was a very special bird and was much loved by you.

Take care,

Brenda
