My cockatoo died this evening He was about 50 years old and I am worried about his best friend George who is older again. I think he will be next for the great cage in the sky as they had been together all their lives.

Really sorry to hear this.

I'm sorry Houndy. I hope George copes ok

Oh such a shame. Sorry to hear the news. At least he lived to a great age. I hope your other bird will be okay.

What a shame and he sounded such a character too. So sorry to hear your sad news

I am so sorry for you and George, hope he is copes ok. It is always sad when our animals died.
A big hug for you.

terribly sad houndy - and not so old for a cockie. scritchies to George!

Sorry to hear about your cockatoo houndy

Sorry to hear about your cockatoo Trish, if you've had him that long then he'll be missed. Only just seen your post, been to busy assisting with the survey. Ben keeps nibbling me for attention, think he feels neglected.

Hope you and George are coping with your loss, its never easy, no matter the size of the pet, they all have a place in our hearts. Gillx

Thanks guys for your messages - George seems to have perked up a bit this week as I really thought that he was on his way out too last week. I'll just have to wait and see..
