Patrick, I believe I've mentioned him before on here... he passed away in August. He was the best friend anyone could ever have. During the few weeks after his death, Skeeter went into depression... she showed aggression, wouldn't eat, and sat there looking like a vulture. We took her to our aviary vet multiple times, and gave her vitamins in her water. In late September she began to act like herself again, but she can't be in the same cage as our new budgies. She dearly misses Patrick...

 

Earlier in October, Skeeter laid another clutch of 4 eggs. I could tell she found it difficult to sit on them without a friend there to feed you and take your place after a few hours, which is why she became bored of sitting on them. Patrick used to feed her and even sit on the eggs when Skeeter took a break. They were like a little budgie married couple... Skeeter still isn't the same to this day. She is very irritable and doesn't have the same disposition. I feel hurt whenever I see her sitting on the perch where she used to groom Patrick...

 

RIP Patrick, my little buddy. Thanks... for being there.

Sorry for you and your little bird. It's very sad when they go, as they become such good little buddies. RIP.
