Ivan's Feathers

[braveheartdogs]

Hi everyone,

 

I haven't been on in a while since I lost Ivan almost a month ago. It has been rough, I miss him a lot. In a moment of feeling very sad and down I called a bird shop I go to and asked if they happened to have any Pionus (a species I have been wanting for years) and they had a 7 year old female Dusky and so I brought her home. I named her Iris and she is a dolly. I keep finding different pictures of Ivan that I didn't know I had which is sometimes hard. Anyway, I wanted to show you what I got. There is an artist on Etsy who makes these feather pendants and I asked if they would consider making a custom one. They said yes and I sent a few of Ivan's feathers and they made these pendants for me. I only ordered one but they said that they couldn't bear to not use all his feathers so they made two of them for me. I love them and it makes me feel good to have a piece of him with me.

Those pendants are lovely and a nice way to honor Ivan though you don't need them to remind you of him for he was unforgettable and always in your heart.

Congrats on your new bird and could we have some more info on her and maybe some pictures.

It is so thoughtful for you to come back in and let us know how you are doing. The pendant is a lovely tribute to Ivan and is very touching. I saved feathers from the first two babies we lost to illness. This seems like a beautiful way to hold him symbolically over your heart. Dusky will bring you much joy, its great for you to open your home and heart to her.

I am so happy you have something to remember Ivan! You will never forget him. I promise you, the pain does ease over time. The happy memories become more important. Welcome to Dusky, now Iris. We want to here all about her. I am sure Ivan would be thrilled that you have opened your heart to a bird that needs love and a home. God bless you! Nancy
