Beaker has passed away

For those of you who know me and and been to my home, Beaker is our African Grey parrot. He died this morning on the way to the vets. He was 11 years old yesterday and I have had him since he was six months old. He was very special to us. He was always laughing and talking on the phone, singing. He could always cheer me up.

This is very hard to write. Greys have a life span of 50 years and I always thought he would outlive me.

Here is a fuzzy picture of his I took last month.

Re: Beaker has passed away

Sorry to hear it. I lost a pet a couple of years ago, and it was very hard.
