I was sitting here this morning watching a baby hummingbird online that is getting ready to leave the nest when I heard a God awful scream come from the cage, I looked up and Ethel was in the bottom of the cage. I ran to her and by the time I put my hand in there to her, she was gone. I dont know what I could have done or not done for her to die so young. February had only been a year since I had her so she was only about 1 1/2 years old.
She never really grew to full size. Fred was smaller than her when I got him, but he was almost twice her size by this time. So I dont know if that had something to do with it. I just know Im heartbroken and dont think I could handle losing anymore pets. I have lost too many over the past year and feel like maybe Im just not meant to have them.
Poor Fred is all alone now. I was even thinking of getting rid of him so I wouldnt have to go through this again, but I cant do that to him, he has been through enough. Maybe I will work on trying to tame him down.
R.I.P. Ethel
