Today, my beautiful, patient and gentle Cocky was put to sleep. He was so patient and tolerant of all the littlies at our local nursery school. He allowed them to pull his wings about, touch his comb and generally touchy feelly all over. He would sit so quietly and he never frightened any of the babes. Sadly he became ill on Sunday, it was all over by today, it was so quick, I do not think he suffered, but I miss him so much already. He really was a special bird and loved to be held and carried on your arm or shoulder. I feel so sad that he never got his freedom to stay out with his girls at night, he always had to come in because of complaints by a neighbour. He never got his place in the countryside. I think he was one of a kind.
To you dear Cocky, I am so sorry.
