Today is a sad day for our family, our little bugie bird Esther died today. She had not been doing well, the feathers on her bottom fell out and that area was swelling up. We thought at first it was an egg, but later realized it was some sort of tumor. We began looking around for vets to treat her, but they were all very expensive so we attempted to treat her ourselves with some vitamins, warmth and tender care.
We watched her get weaker and weaker. She would shake and breath hard. She would go from her favorite perch to her seeds and sometimes fall to the bottom of the cage and after she climbed back up, she was too tired to eat. It was a very sad situation.
Today as my wife was cleaning the cage, she took the bottom out to wash it, our little buggie Esther either fell or lost her balance from her perch and fell to the floor. We think she broke her neck. It was a painless way to go and ended her suffering.
Our children were deviated, especially my oldest who is ill right now with a stomach bug. She had been training Esther to sit on her finger and was making good progress.
We are all very sad today - but it's a hot day for swimming (for those who are well) and getting things done.
We buried our little bugie today with great sadness. Now we are looking for a different bugie - not a replacement, but a new bird to care for and train.
"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." Matthew 10:29-30
Bless the Most High!
