My Precious Mikko

Oh No! .. ...What happened?

Oh Cindy, I'm am so very sorry. He was such a beautiful bird. I know how hard that is. Had he been sick?

Oh Cindy...........I am so very sorry. He was such a precious baby. What a terrible loss for you. I know you must be devastated.

I fed the birds and cleaned the aviary as I do every morning and nothing seemed amiss.
I have been covering the aviary as our nights have been colder than usual.

Yesterday morning Chuck and I had a 9:00 appt so I kept the aviary covered as it was still a bit cool. When we returned about 3 hours later I went out to uncover the aviary and noticed Mikko was not in his 'corner', which was very unusual. Unless he's bathing he doesn't venture off that area. He was always content to to just be with his two 'girls'.

I looked around and found him on the ground.

No, he hadn't been sick.

I'm sorry this happened. I know how you will miss him. Was he an older bird?

I am so very sorry to read of your loss, what an absolutely beautiful bird. My heart goes out to you, what a dreadful shock it must have been. Fly free sweet feathered friend, so precious and so very pure

We sure do. I really feel so bad for Pij'ette and Samantha.
Pij'ette was his original mate and Samantha is one of their daughters who became his mate as well.
The three got along wonderfully as long as Sam didn't get into Pij'ette's basket.

Mikko was 11 years old.

Thank you, Annie.

I always thought he was such a beautiful pigeon. Too bad.

Oh Cindy~I'm so very sorry. May he never be far from you in spirit. (((many many Hugs to you and Chuck))) If ever Don and I could be of help, please never hesitate to call us, I'd be up there in a flash! I will pass along the news to Phoenix, and we shall all say a prayer with roo coo's and all in our birdie room!May he rest in peace knowing that he will never be forgotten and forever loved. Much MUCH Love to you both!

Thank you, Jay.
He was quite the showman.
When he would strut across the room he remined me of Liberace walking across the stage in his white high collared fur coat.

Thank you, Jenn.
