dhorje Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 It has been 5 months since Cocoa passed away. I was left without a companion. It was so hard to accept Cocoa was gone. My wife didn't want to have another companion parrot again. She couldn't take the pain anymore. My heart was so empty without Cocoa. I thought of giving my wife some time before I talk to her about getting another grey. This morning, Kilaya came home with us. He (gender not determined yet) was hatched on Jun18, 2014. He is exactly one month old today.

JeffNOK Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Great News! I hope that your new addition brings joy you and your family. Best wishes!
Luvparrots Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Welcome Kilaya. Looking forward to following your adventures with Sanggay and family.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted July 18, 2014 Posted July 18, 2014 Thanks alot!!!! Your baby is so darn cute.... I want to get another grey baby! You will always love and miss Cocoa. I think Cocoa would be THRILLED that you have opened your heart. Make him proud! Nancy
Timbersmom Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 What great pics (as always) and what a beautiful baby! Welcome Kilaya.
chezron Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 I didn't know Cocoa, and I am sorry for your loss. I look forward to hearing all about your new little Kilaya.
dhorje Posted July 19, 2014 Author Posted July 19, 2014 Thanks all for welcoming Kilaya. Here are some photos taken today.
katana600 Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 Welcome home Kilaya, you may be small but I bet you already know your new home is special. It's always too soon to say goodbye so your first love, Cocoa. As you pick up the pieces of your broken hearts, you will find your smiles, laughter and joy again with Kilaya. Thank you for staying with us and sharing this delightful news.
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted July 19, 2014 Posted July 19, 2014 looking forward to hearing more about your baby. Nancy
dhorje Posted July 21, 2014 Author Posted July 21, 2014 There is a story behind Kilaya. There were 3 hatchlings from this brood, code named SK1, SK2 and SK3. The breeder wanted to keep SK1 for himself because SK1 (which is Kilaya) was hatched from a cracked egg. The breeder used wax from candle to patch up the crack and SK1 was safely hatched. The breeder had sentimental feeling for SK1. SK2 was booked by me and SK3 was booked too. Someone wanted SK1 badly and the breeder asked me if I could take SK1 because he knew the way I cared for Cocoa. That how SK1 ended up with me. The breeder would have SK1 clipped. I guess Kilaya (SK1) is lucky to have come to me because he will get to keep all his flight feathers.
Inara Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 Kilaya is so beautiful, and looking very alert and ready for a life of mischief. I really enjoyed reading the story of how he came to be with you. Beautiful name, by the way, does it have a particular meaning? I'm always interested in how humans come to name our companions.

Kilaya means dagger in Sanskrit. Kilaya has many harnesses to choose from. He inherited these harnesses from Cocoa.

kins2321@yahoo.com Posted July 22, 2014 Posted July 22, 2014 I remember Cocoa as well! I believe Cocoa is looking down from birdie heaven, and so happy that mom and dad now have a new addition to the family! Cocoa can NEVER be replaced. We lose our hearts with so many animals! Nancy
judygram Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Kilaya doesn't know how lucky he/she is yet but will, what an adventure this little one is going to have.
Muse Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 I am fairly new here and did not know Cocoa, but I am very sorry for your loss. You have a very beautiful baby. I love the name. I look forward to seeing more pictures!

dhorje Posted August 1, 2014 Author Posted August 1, 2014 Kilaya is 6 weeks old today. We have had him/ her for 2 weeks today. I thought I could take my mind off Cocoa. It is not as easy as it seems.
Greywings Posted August 1, 2014 Posted August 1, 2014 I think that Kilaya will help you heal from the loss of Cocoa, beautiful baby.
