Our sweet little, gentle but feisty Bebe passed away. He was 11 yrs. old. The thing is, we were out of town and left explicit notes on the seeds for Bebe & Slater and our GCC Faye. Notes all over the place, emailed detailed messages about what to do for the parakeets and our GCC. Well, when I got up (after getting back in town) to feed our babies. Much to my dismay, she put the parrot seed in the budgie dish and put the water where the food dish should have been and vice versa. My sister was doing it in the morning until she had to leave for the wedding. I feel my Bebe starved to death :-( Slater is younger and he isn't hand tame, but after I fed him he just kept eating and didn't mind my husbands hand, as he usually flutters away when we get close. Safflower Gold is what we give our GCC and pellets. Come on, parakeets are going to eat that?! Not sure what will happen if we refuse to pay them. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks so much. Bebe fly high my sweet little guy. You took a big piece of my heart, so sorry you had to suffer. We love you <3 We miss your chirpping :budgie:
