Kiwi passed away soon after these last video clips of him. If i tried to take him to the vet, I am almost sure he wouldn't have made it. and I would have rather had him with mein my hands when he passed away.
7 years ago I brought Kiwi home to my parents for Christmas from a pet store, He was a few months old.
Tonight I brought Kiwi and Bee to my home as I left Smokey and Koolaid at my parents just for a change. Kiwi was not talkative and really showed his illness right when I brought him home.
His breathing was laboured as I fed him some liquid vitamin and kept him warm on a heated blanket. I sat with him for an hour until all the sudden he took a deep breath and opened his wings as if he was going to fly! And then, he dropped his wings, his body shook, he let out his breath, and he closed his eyes.
I have never seen a bird die in my hands. Tonight he lay in a blanket in the travel cage as Bee is perched above him on a swing. He seems to know there was something wrong as he was pecking at Kiwi to 'wake up' during the drive home.
It started with only me & him; and it ended with only me & him. 7 years.
Rest in peace little Kiwi. You are safe with your other bird friends and your friend Beaker. I Thank you for teaching me everything about birds.
Love, your bird mama & Bowie, Koolaid, Smokey, Hazel, BooBoo, Bee.
