kins2321@yahoo.com Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Okay... i'm rarely sick, so when I am, I make the worst patient. Have had a horrible cold since I got back from vacation. If I'm not working, I'm on the couch with a box of kleenex, Echinachea and Zinc. Sophie knows I'm not feeling well. She walks into family room, coughing and sneezing. Climbs on my shoulder, on Wednesday my day off. She regurg on my pillow, telling me " It's okay!" ( something I always tell her if she is ever scared!)She was with me for the next 12 hours. If I fell asleep, she dug her beak under my left eye, stuck her butt in the air, was quiet as a mouse.She was better than a bowl of chicken soup! She really made me feel better! I insisted she go to bed that evening. She was hesitant! It just got me thinking, has anyone had experience where their bird made you feel better whether you were sad, or sick?

Timbersmom Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 I haven't been sick since I've had Timber, but I know he can always make me smile! Sorry you are under the weather and hope it clears up soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana600 Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Aw, Sophie's sweetness will help you get well soon. Gilbert has been a tough sell, but the two times he was gentle and came to me to touch me were both times when I was sick or sad. He not only says "its okay" but he says "sorry". The most poignant moment we have had was when I fell asleep on the sofa and he came and rubbed his beak all over my face like he was blind and feeling his way. Glad that Sophie is comforting you even as she mimicks your coughing and sneezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffNOK Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Hope you feel better soon. Gracie rarely imitates sounds, but she has my cough from a cold a few weeks back down to a tee. It sounds horrible! I hope she forgets it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 LOL Chances are you will be hearing that cough for as long as you both shall live Jeff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayd Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 Our fids are definitely empathetic, but, [Nancy get well] if we get sick, it's always best to keep our distant from our feathered friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted November 10, 2012 Author Share Posted November 10, 2012 Good idea Jayd. Thought it was adorable of her to leave her regurg on my pillow... " in case I got hungry!" LOL Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
