Sad News about Loretta

[Xtreme575]

I had posted about Loretta the yellow-naped Amazon who was "Abbotsford's Oldest Pet" with documented vet records of 65 years. Loretta resided at a local feed store for years, but she has now passed away.

 

Here is a link to the article on her passing, I had also included a link that gave information about Loretta, she was certainly a famous bird in my area... She is already very missed.

What a gorgeous bird - she looks almost "fluffy" rather than feathered. She obviously had a good, long life - and was enjoyed by the people in the store. Thanks for this Ryan.

Unfortunately I hadn't had an opportunity to meet her myself. It was one of those "I must do" that I didn't have the opportunity to do in time. Yes, she was in my area, I have been following her in the paper for some time as she was quite a local celebrity and lead me to have a better awareness of local avian services. In that sense, she created a legacy that Paco, my AG is now able to enjoy.
