Sorry to hear this Sam, always horribly sad to lose a pet.

RIP little guy.

I am really sad for you Sam, I didn't even know birds lived that long.

He's got a point, 13 years is a very long time for such a small animal. How long do they usually live for?

Oh Sam, that's awful for you hun. Sounds like Fred had a lovely life with you though, and what better way to go than in a warm bed in familiar surroundings with people who care about you. Dig through your photo's, buy a lovely frame, and when you feel you want to put Freds cage etc away, put the photo somewhere prominant so you have your Fred on display.

Or, buy your frame, put Freds piccy on display, and clean Freds cage and leave it sparkling until you're ready to buy another feathered friend to cherish!!

I know that our pets personalities can NEVER be replaced, but sometimes even the tiny pets leave a void in our lives when they go. My cat is a complete pain in the derriere but I love her regardless.

Big hugs hun. x

It's not unknown for them to reach 16 years old... the oldest budgie recorded living up to 27 years i think. They are hardy little creatures, with funny little personalities. He was so funny, always shouting at me when i got home and wouldn't be quiet until i went to say hello to him. He was a good little talker to.

Here's just a couple of videos of him taken last year.

Aw Sammy hunny, i'm so sorry to hear this

I had the pleasure of meeting this (now) famous Fred and he was a cool little dude. No fear of all those peeps in your house that afternoon after the rideout and he even sat on my head for a while i seem to remember.

I really liked him and i'd only known him an hour or so....so can only image how big a loss he is too you.

Be strong and imagine how much flying about he can do in bidry heaven

for you xx

They may be only small but they certainly play a big part in our lives, my dog, Dennis the menace , is nearly 14 now, dreading the day tbh, keep your chin up mate.

Sorry to hear about Fred
