So my bird jasper died this morning, he was 27 years old I raised him from a egg, I had his parents. He could whistle and he said a few words, he was a great bird. Hard to imagine he won't be there anymore to whistle at me, or sing (whistle) the andy griffith song. I don't want to bring anyone down, just thought I would share this sad news.

Man, I am sorry. I had an cockatiel like that years ago as well. He lived a good life though!

I wondered why you weren't on this a.m.

Had he been ailing? So sorry.

Very sorry for your loss :( Kind of coincidental that Andy Griffith passed away a month ago.

So sorry for you. When I was a kid we had a parakeet that could wolf whistle and say lots of words. He was really a fun bird and we so missed him when he was gone. He could be let out of his cage to fly all over the house and would always come back when we put our finger out for him. It still amazes me because I don't ever see parakeets like that. Good memories for us to keep.

:( I am so sorry. I had cockatiels a few years ago (13 of them to be exact) and had to rehome them. I hope the little guy r.i.p.

I used to breed the little guys, and I didn't think anything could be worse than losing a baby. That was until I lost my 10 year old adult. He had some mental issues and only stood in one place, rarely ate, and his feet got really warped. He actually hated me, but I bauled like a baby when we had to have him put down.

Sorry to hear about Jasper, the very fact that he lived to be so old goes to show how much care and dedication you put into him.

Sorry about the loss of your bird. Sounds like you had an awesome companion bird. God will bless you for taking great care of his creation.

Sorry to hear about Jasper, We have a Quaker that we got at 3 days old in Sept of 87, his name is Roscoe, not looking forward to the day he is gone, He talks at me (not to me) all day long,and he doesn't like changes, everything needs to stay the same.
