I lost one of my beautiful cockatiels - Spike yesterday.

I hand reared her 12 years ago

She had roosted outside with her two Rolling Eyes boyfriends and I think she got spooked in the night and crashed landed or flew into the wire.

I found her dead on the floor with her two boys standing guard Crying or Very sad

There was a horrendous wind and rain here all night and they normally know it's coming and go inside.

Her two boys are looking for her Crying or Very sad Crying or Very sad

Good home offered for waif and stray hen to cheer up the boys.
