another personal piece...
i'm still having a rough time with it, even now.
this was a "vent art" piece that i made in time of
mourning for my beloved bird.

[description pulled from another post about my bird]

sunday, july 28th 2013, my baby bird passed away..
a few weeks before, we had realized that she was
acting a little more frisky than usual, and eventually
we realized that my little bird was infact a female
all along (the WHOLE time we thought babe was a boy)..
i tried my best to set her cage up to make her as comfortable
as possible; changing the spacing of her toys, perches, and
adding any extra food or cuddle bones she may have needed,
in order to help her along with passing the egg through her system.
she seemed to be doing just fine until the friday before she passed
away. she had been really lethargic, and had begun to pull her
feathers out around her "vent" as they call it. i was keeping a close
eye on her for any other signs, and was looking for vets online to
take her in on monday... sadly, she didn't make it... i'm heart-broken
to say the least.. i havent stopped thinking about her or crying for the
last few days.. she was a wonderful bird. a beautiful bird. and one of the
best companions i could have ever asked for..
