Thanks for the kind words guys. It's definately been a rough few days, but so much harder on my partner. It's been a bit of an ordeal trying to convince him that it wasn't his fault. He was so so attached to her. He got teary last night because he called my Tiel Mali 'Pretty Girl', which is what he always called Cheeky.
We've buried her in a pretty spot in my backyard, and I'm gonna find a nice flat rock and put it over top, maybe I'll write her name on it.
We cut some of her tail feathers to keep, I think I'll put one in a photo frame, along with various tail and flight feathers we've kept from all the birds.
We didn't get to see her pretty blue flight feathers, we were so looking forward to them. They would have been so beautiful.
