Hi guys.
I'm new to this platform, and recently lost my grey on Sunday. I wanted to join this platform as no one around me accept for my partner truly understands the bond you create with them.
Her name was Parker and she was 3 and half years old; I had her from a baby. She was healthy and very loving. It was a freak accident, she flew to the top of her cage which she has done a thousand times and she got her foot stuck; I gently pulled it but she couldn't put weight on it.
Took her to the vet, after the scan it was confirmed she had a fracture, the surgery was successful on her foot, but she stopped breathing and they couldn't recover her.
I'm posting this because no one around me really understands what its like to own an African grey. She was my best friend and I'm heartbroken to have lost her so early in her life. I wanted to post my story on here as I think it would provide comfort speaking with like-minded African grey owners.
Thank you for reading my story.
Tony.
