My white boy, my Grand Champion white DF spangle has been unwell for a while, he had gone a bit light but was coming good after a cocktail of meds.

I went out just before to crop wash him with lemon juice and water.

He was fine running around the cage his bum was fine. but he was grinding his food a bit but he still had some food in his crop because he had put on some weight.

I was going to crop wash him then put him back on the mega and doxy treatment.

Now every time I crop I always panic because I am scared the needle will go down the wrong way.

Well the needle went down the right way and I put the solution in and he was fine but I think it was much mls

because he was not happy with it but when I sucked out the solution he died , he was dead in my hands, I am so upset.

I kept saying sorry to him, I am a monster a brutal murderer. I can't believe I killed him.

My poor boy he has won everything for me and I did that to him.

I am so sad actually balling my eyes out.

I loved that bird. I know he may not of made it anyway but it is just horriable that I did it.

 

 

Sorry to hear your sad news. Especially after your great day yesterday. Don't blame yourself, it happened while you were trying to help him. Little consolation i know but maybe better then being sick for a long time. Do you have any of his offspring to keep the line going ?

Just know that he died knowing that you were continuing on in the shows, I'm sure if he understood, he would have been happy <3

Yes have a few and the birds that won yesterday are his nephews

oh mate i know what that feels like

im sorry to hear

it truly was not your fault you were giving him every chance

things are given to us in times we need them and taken from us when almost always in our minds unfairly

RIP

What a beautiful beautiful boy. I'm so sorry.

I don't think that's weird, that sounds very sweet.

Sad to hear Julie, looks like a terrific bird and you had the good fortune/management to breed him in the first place and his legacy will live on.

I think that's a champion idea, GB.

 

 

Yes I buried him but no trophy, I like them in the display cabinet and the rest are power tools that I won from him.

GB can you do me a lovely portrait of him for me please.

 

AND NO it was my fault I reckon I pumped to much water in him and it went into his lungs or what ever, I was told 10ml and I thought that to much so I did 4 and a bit, I think 2 ml would of been plenty for a budgie.

SO yes my fault and I just fell awful. I gave him mouth to beak and pressed his little heart but nothing worked.

I loved that bird so much he was my pride and joy, I decide when he won my ultimate prize, Grand Champion that he is retired now, He would of been 3 years old in another couple of months.

 

Bye bye sweet boy.

Oh Splat I'm so sorry to hear about this.

 

I'm glad his legacy will live on and he will always be in your heart.

Thanks Renee, but I never really used him to his best ability, but his brothers are throwing me top babies.

The babies that both won the shields are from 2 of his brothers. So I hope nothing happens to them now.

Oh Gb he won me 3 new show cages this year with the new perches and powder coated fronts.

My sweet boy is now in the freezer, i had second thought about how to bury him and

changed my mind.

So I have frozen him until Wednesday or Thursday when I go shopping.

I will buy a large planter and a small white rose bush or white flowing plant of some sort

and put him in there. I think that would be fitting for such a beautiful boy like him with

such beautiful showmanship that he displayed at shows, a true gentleman he was.

I will place it near the bird room and then I can look at him all the time with

loving memories of my sweet little boy

I so know how you feel....my best hen Omelette is in a plant pot with an Angel Peach tree on top of her.

 

Remember anything we do to try and save the birds is all positive stuff and you cant blame yourself when it doesnt work out. I know the depth of feeling you would have had for him as I did for Omelette.

 

Biggest hugs XXX

Sorry for your loss splat he looked like a magnificent bird, im sure he will be dearly missed, you did what you could and thats what count, RIP white boy im sure splat will forever hold you in her heart

Thanks Kaz and Corey.

I had a cry in Greg's arms before after he told me off for doing it and even Geoff told me to stop listening to people.

So I was scolded then hugged.

 

Kaz I knew you would and I remembered what you did with Omelette., but to think I did it is just awful.

But it would look pretty with some white flowers, somethings like snow flakes.

 

My white boy was my main bird and his dad my second main bird and the violet my 3rd and the white boys brother in order after that.

i only have one sister left.

let him rest in peace

I will make a few suggestions of flowers that would go well

• Cala Lily
• White Tulip
• Magnolia Flower (An option because it is said that it was one of the first flowers to appear on earth)
• Jasmine Flower
• Lily of the Valley

And here is the meaning of a white flower which is perfect for white boy:

 

 

 

 

White Flower Meaning

White flowers are often related to perfection, chastity and purity, carrying deep symbols of peace and calmness. Virgins and brides use white flowers as accessories to convey simple beauty, sincerity, modesty and innocence, whereas at the same time, white flowers are often used in funerals and commemorations in order to symbolize the supreme light of God and the heavens above.

 

You can suggest sincerity and appreciation when offering a white flower bouquet. They express a truthful, clean and open heart and bring brightness and light to the recipient’s life.

 

 

That's lovely Flippy. But I only want a small plant that is easy to grow and look after.

After all I don't won't the plant dieing too , that would be like killing him twice.

I think you can get little bush roses or mini roses I think I am thinking about.

No good splat. He looked great.

 

Would you consider taxidermy? He would be preserved 4 ever then!

Think about it, who wants a preserved budgie that got them their first competition won to see every morning of the rest of their lives... I know I wouldn't....

Mmmmm. A bit creepy for me too but whatever you chose to do to commemorate him will be your choice.

No I wouldn't like that and I am sure he wouldn't either. I have some lovely photos of

him so I will print a nice one out and hang it on my birdroom wall. I am burying with

a white plant that will be my rememberance of him. I was thinking if I can be bothered

or even have the time I might paint a picture of him on the pot plant but at least I will write

My White boy on there and his achievements. i think he deserves that.

You know it's pretty awful that all my dead birds go in the bin but he is to special for that.

Even the poor old wow bird was autopsied by Greg and binned.

I was tempted to autopsy him to see what was going on but couldn't destroy his beautiful body.

Hey Splatty, if you like, I can paint him on a pot, and write a list of his achievements along with it, although I may need to know his achievements

Splat, I'm very sorry to hear this. My heart goes out to you. :hug:
