hello all this is helwa
i am no longer a part of this forum but wanted to come and let everyone know that nunu passed away last night.
She was egg bound in july/august and had a horrid incident where her toe got caught in a toy in september and literally scared her half to death, she had a small issue with her heart because of it. She never snapped out of those issues and was severely depressed and sad since then.
she was so spunky and silly ... and i am having to realize that i have no more nunu. It does not seem possible at all that nunu is not here with my flock. She was the entire reason i had birds at all, i owe her life.
I went to petco (yuck) for fish, and walked out with 2 of the craziest, most wonderful budgies
i was watching the budgie cage while waiting for the fish lady, and nunu was busy biting tails and messing with everyone, yet she was extremly young and teeny tiny ... she would upset the other birds then go run and hide next to jazzie.
She would also come up to a perch at my eye level and chirp at me, so she and jazzie came home with me.
It was then that i realized my childhood dream of becoming a vet and fully embraced my fascination with birds. I am now a vet tech, embarking on writing for bird talk magazine, and work with birds on a daily basis and within a month will open my own parrot rescue.... and i owe it all to nunu...she changed my life, just an abnormally tiny little budgie and she made such a remarkable impact.
