maceygrey Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Hey everyone....Most of you know I Lost my poor Macey a week yesterday. I have since laid her to rest and had a bird bath made to put in my garden with her name on it. My mum has since been trying to contact breeders who can help us with answers to our loss (our vet couldnt). She is such a lovely lady. She has 4 adult greys (all plucked that she has taken in) 3 babies and 3 macaws. She is an angel.....I went to see her today and she has a 12 week old grey who i saw. I didnt want to hold her but in the end I did. She is so lovley and playful and I feel bad that I have such heart break cos all she wanted to do was play..... she cuddled and kissed and wanted stroking and wanted to play for ages. I just felt so bad leaving her. My mum says they will buy her for our family and we can bring her home. Is it too soon as I am still dealing with my broken heart but when i saw this baby I knew I couldt leave her....what do i do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JillyBeanz Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Nothing will ever replace Macey - she'll always be special. Only you know if you are ready for another bird. Remember, don't feel guilty. Your new bird isn't a replacement, just the next generation that needs some loving. When I lost my cockatiel (I'd had him 17 years) in January I felt that I didn't want another bird, but I realised how empty the house was without a pet - and that's how Harvey arrived. I'm sure you'll make the right decision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 If you and family are ready, do it! It shows no disrespect for Macey, which will always have a place in your heart and bring a tear when you think about her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joolesgreyuk Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 You already know the answer don't you? Do you want to continue with the quiet house, forever making you think of your lost one? You know you will never forget Macey and you aren't replacing her - you couldn't because she was unique. Go ahead I say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvparrots Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Don't feel guilty is the first thing you do. What an honor to Macey to know that your experience with her was so wonderful that you want to give another grey the opportunity to have a wonderful forever home. Seize the moment!

judygram Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Only you know if you are ready for another grey, look deep inside and ask yourself if you are, you will know the answer. Please let us know what you decide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimaysmommy Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I absolutely agree....only you can know if you're ready for a new grey baby. There is NOTHING in the world that could ever replace your beloved Macey. On the same token, if you were to take this new baby grey in, don't think that you'd love him/her any less BECAUSE he/she isn't Macey. Just like kids, you'll love him/her for the wonderful individual they are. Good luck with your decision, and please keep us posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jingles Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Have you decided?? Ok, so that is my way of asking for pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greywings Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Do you know if what ever killed Macey was contagious? that would be my biggest concern, not wanting anything to harm the new baby. The lady you visited sounds lovely. I know your heart is painful right now but listen to your soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maceygrey Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 Hi Guys The lady that has been rearing her sent some photos of her today she is so lovely and playful its hard not to like her, she is not naughty and loves to be cuddled and likes both males and females. The lady that has her has 7 greys and 2 mcaws all adopted that she has taken in because they have had bad homes she is an angel, she treats them all the same and they are so spoilt. She has no children and I think she treats them like her babies I have decided to call the new baby Cookie because she is so sweet what do u guys think. I will forward some photos as soon as I can. We cant bring her home for another 2 weeks but I will post some photos asap. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maceygrey Posted September 24, 2009 Author Share Posted September 24, 2009 No Im sorry I never found out but our suspicions were with a new fire that we bought that we turned on for the first time the night before she got ill. I wish I had known, we have since had the fire destroyed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
