Dear Burt,

 

You were the best friend I've ever had. I was so afraid of you when we first met, but you showed me that trust can be achieved through mutual respect and love. I miss you terribly. Your laugh when I would walk in the door, the way you would say "Get over it" if I was upset. You were such an individual, and I loved you quirks and all. I miss you climbing up my leg to sit in my lap, the way you demanded my attention when I was busy doing something else. You broke the mold, and began my love of birds.

 

No one will ever take your place, but I'd like to think you'd be proud of your dad and I for rescuing another macaw in need.

 

Until we meet again at the bridge, we love you dear Burt. And in true Burt style, I can hear you saying "Whatever".

 

Love,

Mom & Dad

 

* Burt passed away just one month ago due to a stroke. There was no warning that he was even ill. Since we rescued him 7 years ago, we don't know exactly how old he was, but we are guessing he was around 12. With all the advances in veterinary medicine, one would think more could be done for our feathered loved ones. As the nursing manager of a veterinary hospital that sees birds, I am advocating that our doctors take the continuing education courses to become proficient at avian cardiac ultrasound.

 

 

Thanks for letting me share,

~Amanda
